Just did a dry install and my 14” steel wheels do not clear them, so I will need to get some 15” rims eventually
Everything else worked flawlessly. I used a wrench to bend the dust shield back enough so it can still shield but clear the larger rotor

Re: Corolla brake upgrade
Just did a FULL install and it turns out the new wheel studs are way too long to use the stock nuts with
I also couldn’t get them pressed in. The new ones measure 14.22 on the knurl and the old ones measured 14 so I think I need smaller ones
50mm was too long for nuts that aren’t open end

Re: Corolla brake upgrade
Interesting, which studs did you get?

Re: Corolla brake upgrade
I got a set of brass plated ones but they have an extended tip on them which measures about 5mm longer than the threads, which are 50mm, so in total it's way too long
I'm gonna get them cut down at my friend's machine shop to 45mm and that should make them useable
