Default BRAKE PROBLEM

OK i wanna get the Wilwood superlite 4 pot brakes kit for my EK coupe but the the rotors that come with kit requires 17s rims. i dont wanna go that big, i got 15s. ok they have a set of dynopro kit that comes with 11'' rotors and that kit fits but i hate the calipers. they are oem size but i like the way the calipers look in the pic i got. does anyone have any ideas on how i can get those caliper and use 15s rims. does it matter on the caliper mount or is there something. thanks

16" will fit, but you'll have limited selection on which wheels will fit depending on the offset of the wheel.

are you going to be tracking your car with this setup?

post this in the race fourm. i know that prkiller is using a 6 piston with 15's but he had to use a big spacer to make them fit. i have the above setup on my race car, i am using 17's at this time but will be going smaller when i get the money. my rotors are 12.2 inch and i am using a 17/7.5 with a 45 off set raped in 235/40/17 on my em1

Best bet is to just get some 16's or 17's and have some mean *** tires on them and those nasty *** big brake kit rather than 15's and some barely stronger than stock brake kit.

Thanks for the fix on the spelling I was half-asleep at work when I replied to the post. I only run this setup on my race car. My street car has stock brakes with upgraded pads, no need for big brakes on my DD.
