[QUOTE="Geeze, post: 280409, member: 15843"] The early 944NA hubs use the same bearings as the stock T2 spindle 8) , it's just that the bearing spacing (gap inside the hub between inner and outer bearings) is different, so the kits include bearing spacers to move them out to where they need to be for the T2 spindle. If you use the stock (944 / SC) 282mm disc, you can run 15" wheels no problems. If you start with a drum spindle, you can use the stock 944 sliding fist caliper or you can fit Wilwoods on either the drum spindle or disc spindle (944 caliper won't fit on the disc spindle, the caliper lug is all wrong and in the way). Either calipers fits under a 15" wheel with the 282mm disc. The Turbo stuff needs a bigger wheel (16") because of the bigger disc (298mm iirc) and chunkier calipers. Technically, you could fit boxster calipers on the 282mm disc under a 15" wheel because I've seen it done on early 911s, but not seen someone do this on a bus yet (probably because there are easier and cheaper options! :D ).
