Just go to wilwood.com and download there pdf file. The installation is very straight forward. If you have everything you need then it is a piece of cake. The bleeding can be a pain sometimes, but othe than that it bolts on fairly quick. There pdf file also has a illustration so you can see if you have all the correct parts. I was sponsored by wilwood about 5-6 years ago when my car was at Sema. Awesome brakes!!

thanks for ur info, nice set up on ur ride too
i did went to wilwood site,
from my understanding it need clearence off set 45, but not sure if 15" wheels will be ok, and if 15" are ok its kinda hard to find 15 " wheels w/ off set 45, i've seen some mugens.
just wondering if anyone has pictures of this wilwood with 15" wheels set up
i really dont want to go 16".

16" rim is the smallest you can fit, and if I remember right, not all 16" will fit either. The 15" I doubt will fit, but I may be wrong. My rotor is over 12", I think it's like 12.25" or something.

I only know of 1 15" wheel that will fit, made by Team Dynamics.
16" should give you better fit, but like AMR said not all 16" wheels will clear either. Enkei RPF-1 for example, does not IIRC

yes, Team Dynamics wheels fit, at least their Pro Race 1 model. I believe their 1.2 and 2 models do as well, their house design has tons of caliper clearance.
more info here


I was mistaken in my prior post, i commented thinking you were asking about the 12.2" wilwood kit which is very limiting as far as wheel choice, with the TD PR1 and PR2 being the only wheels Im aware of that fits.
Source here

Your options with the 11" kit are much more numerous

Most of the cars in the first thread I lnked were running offsets in the +35 to +40 range which seemed to be issue-free.

as far as dealers, i know East Coast Tires has them, but I dont know how their prices are, it seems to me they were a bit high last i checked. Good-Win-Racing also does, and they are very reasonable price-wise. Brian is a miata guy so his site is primarily Mazda focused, but 4x100 wheels are 4x100 wheels. You might want to call and check on the center bore of the ones he carries since miatae have smaller hub bores.

And again, with the 11" kit you shouldnt have trouble fitting most wheels. If you decide to go another route besides Team Dynamics, Volk Rota etc should fit without much issue

according to racing dynamic.com, their 14x7 +38 offseet would fit dynalite wilwood caliper with 11" rotor.
