Re: fitting 308mm discs.

the 5 stud front discs are the same internal 70mm iirc bore as that bit sits on a little step on the hub... it is the disc "bell" part that is different, the big recess bit. early 284 ones are bigger in shape so go over later hubs and later discs, like the 288 and 308 would need the hubs ...

Re: fitting 308mm discs.

as the man says, if your have already got late calibra 5 stud hubs that the 288's fit over, just bolt on the carriers and discs. if you have actually got the larger diameter early 5 stud hubs off of a cav turbo or a car with 284mm brakes, your new ones won't fit over the hubs. so my turbo calipers ...
