    Overall Height: 2.01"
    Number of Bolts/Holes: 4
    Bolt Circle: 4.5
    Discard Thickness: 0.748"
    Vented or Solid: Vented
    Mounting Type: K

    Mini cooper rotors


    Outside Diameter: 11.015
    Overall Height: 1.74
    Number of Bolts/Holes: 4

    Apparently the diameter is just a hair too small and the pads hang over the edge a bit.

    I think this is it.

    there is a listing for rotors wit hub centric rings not sure what there apps for.




    EDIT: also I never have tried doing it myself but you could buy the regular Teg R rotors and try drilling the 4x100 pattern your self. The last set I got from Brian one rotor the hole was off a little and need some filing to fit.

    yeah that's the chart that got me thinking about 11.8" rotors that can fit under a 15" wheel.

    Re: type r calipers + mini cooper/lengend rotors

    One questions: For the ITR set up, would you need the ITR caliper and bracket or just the caliper?
