Brake calipers heat expansion

Hi all,

 

Ive got round to fitting my alloys and noticed that the Brembo calipers are about 2-3mm from the spokes. Will this be a problem? Ive ssen calipers really close to alloys before but ive been told the calipers will expand when hot but by how much?

 

Cheers Dan

    True ive seen the Fiats brakes they are really close. Im just wondering because ive painted and laqured the calipers the paint might hold the heat in and make the expand more? Hopefully im worring over nothing as normal

    I painted mine on the coupe and had no issues.

     

    I doubt they would expand tbh. other wise all the pistons and seals etc would weep fluid.

    The calipers will not expand by 2-3mm so as others have said you will be ok.
