No a 15" wheel will not go over 300mm discs and calipers. You need a 16" wheel to clear the brakes. 15" wheels are fine for the OEM 282mm discs and OEM calipers.

You can but there isn't much improvement over the OEM calipers, if any.

:roll: any excuse to show off... :roll:


;)
:lol:


Lisa's lude has ATR calipers on original carriers/discs and when I changed them over, I did notice a different feel in the pedal and the bite. No particular difference in absolute performance though, as Merlin says.
