Hell no. I had a friend with a 96 GSR with the AEM "big rotor kit" and he had to get 17's to clear the stock calipers. You may get some 16's to fit with some slight machining. If you get the real big brake kit with those monster calipers don't try anything short of 18's without machining both your wheels and calipers. I had a friend with an LS that got this kit and his 17's were not even close to clearing. He got Enkei RS6 which have about the most clearance of a lot of wheels and they were close even in 18" form.

If you ask me though they are a BIG waste of money.

thats what im thinking but i don't have my car back from the body shop to try my GSR blades. won't get it back for another 5 days but We wanna sell his rims or trade for some, but the brakes are what determines if we should get 15's.

Tell him to sell it to a ricer who loves his 17's and needs to stop his 18 second car in 100 feet
