Whys the flywheel and clutch not in Mr E?
Regarding the caliper clearances....
Its possible you may be able to use a "distance" peice" between the caliper and hub to effectively drop the caliper inwards by around 5 to 10 mm..depends on your materials...
Only slight downside to this is the discs will need to be non standard GT4 items with a shallower bell.
Ill see if i can find a photo of the same conversion done on the Golf to give you and idea.
I got 285's inside a 15 inch wheel that way...otherwise impossible.

Big shame MrE,I'm surprised that it needs that much(<10mm)extra clearance,
thats masses in anyones book & would prolly put strain on your wheel studs if you made up the difference with shims/spacers-I imagine
.
On a lighter note.
So, off across the pond in a couple of weeks eh?.I assume an assasin of your standing would have all his marks movements/adgendas to hand & that you will have chosen your usual arsenal accordingly.I can strongly reccomend that you don't take the D/U tips on this 'outing',-they're such a b*gger to get thru U.S customs these days.Oh! & please bring back a souvineer,-say an ear or something

Suspect you're right about the studs. Spacers and trackdays make for dead hubs pretty fast I think.
Yes, off to somewhere near Seattle shortly. Exact location and dates are, of course, between me and the client. He gets to find out the location and date as a bit of a suprise actually......
Why would anyone take the tools to the states. I just pop into Walmart and pick up everything I need.
Remember, the better you are, the closer you can get to the client. A sharpened kiwi fruit* is perfectly adequate in skilled professional hands.

Re: above.
Of course you can buy it in U.S. but do you you really trust them?Their policy on fruit & agriculture have been very lax recently,leaving the quality & reliability of said 'kiwis' in the field very questionable.
For gods sake man!,be safe & take a banana(peeled) for backup.

PMSL.
Taken out of context, that could be a worrying statement.....
