Still a tonne of offset there to get them to clear, though...

It's primarily down to wheel choice.
And then you have the issue of whether it's actually "beneficial" by running that wheel, versus going up a size in disc diameter.
I've seen plenty of Nb historic guys putting down some wicked times with almost standard Cooper S (7.5") brakes.

I'm just convinced an engineer is going to want the vented rotors is all.

I am running machined down 8.4" vented discs to 7.9" with Mini Spares 4 pot calipers under 10x6 Minator rims.

but not many wheels will allow them to fit inside.
all comes down to how "clean" the inside of the rim is.
