Default Big brakes + 15" wheels......Help?

Ok here is my situation. I have a 00 civic si. I have the aem rotor upgrade kit, larger rotors, stock calipers. The kit says I need to run at least a 16" wheel. No problem, the car clears 17" and 18" fine. I tried to fit up a stock 00 si wheel just to see how bad they won't clear. That aren't close to fitting. Well here is the dilema. I will be getting the car ready this winter to be running at the track in the spring. I will need slicks on the car. I'd like to be able to keep the brakes and run a 15" wheel so I can run a 26x10-15 slick. If not I will ditch the brakes and run maybe a 13" wheel. I'll worry about that later. Here is my question....if companies make 13" wheels to fit over gsr brakes, is there anyone that would make a drag racing wheel 15" that would clear my brakes?

I know, I know, just get rid of the brakes. Look in my sig, they are forsale. I'm trying to avoid having to swap the brakes everytime i go to the track. Any info?

your best bet is any 15" wheel that is fully forged, but good luck with your search.

Yea, I am just not sure if any 15" wheel will fit. I'd like to sell the brakes and run stock rotor size smaller wheel. It would be the easiest way. But i can't do that till soemone buys the brakes (new). The search goes on....

Thanks man, i'll look into them. I'll look into the wilwood kit also just to see what size the rotor is.

Fastbrakes.com will sell you both the wheel and the brake kit. Ask them about fit.
