Default I need your best guess

Hey guys! As some of you may know Im buying this hatch in the pic, this weekend. Now I want to run some 15" rims on it (those are 16's on it now) but Im not sure if they will fit. Do you guys think that 15" wheels will fit over those brakes no prob?


Could this be a rear brake picture? I dont know which wheel it is...do the calipers mount like that in the rear?

Those look like 11"rotors.. give it a test with a 15 inch wheel before you buy.

Hatches dont have rear disc brakes..They have drums..
That 16" wheel barely clears the brake..

When i put SiR front brakes on my car I didn't think my 15" wheel would fit. Those rotors are 10.3".
I have about 3/4" between the caliper and inner part of rim.

Most big brake upgrade kits for our cars our made so you can run 15", just try it when you go over.

those seem to be 13" KVR python kit, i highly doubt any 15" wheel will clear that caliper.
if any TDR pro 1 or Pro 2 might work.
how much was that car? the kit alone is $1500?

yes they are the kvr pythons. The car is 4500. Is there only 1 size that the brakes come in?
