I'll WhatsApp you to arrange the carriers, I need to get them boxed up and take to the post office.

Unless you are just sticking with the ones you have now they are the same?

Hey guys! Sorry to write on here, my question is probably a bit OT.
What's the max size of disks that could be mounted on 15" wheels?
I'd like to upgrade my brakes, but not sure it is possible whit those wheels.

280mm with a 15" wheel is the max mate, even then it puts the caliper very close to the wheel itself. This is the standard brake size from the factory if it came with 15" steels.

16" wheels can clear 312mm brakes.

Thanks mate!
Ok, I'll then keep the factory brakes.
I guess it's a bit pointless upgrade the calipers without do the disks, isn't it?

I got uprated drilled and grooved disks and calipers, in 280mm for mine as I have 15" steels and the brakes are superb. It is worth it to replace crusty worn stuff even if you don't go up in size.

For a standard van I don't see how more brake force is needed.
