I want to upgrade my brakes and i found a decent deal on a Wilwood brake kit ... what i wanted to know is if i will be able to fit a 15" wheel over them ? the rotors are 12.19" ....

 

I highly doubt it. The calipers will rub.

 

There 11.1" kit will fit under 15's.

 

i am running the 12.2 inch kit and it barely clears my 16 with a +38 offset. It was such a tight fit that we had to move the wheel weights from the inside of the rim to the back lip. PM me if you have any question

 

Gambit, that **** looks soo good.

OP: There is no way a 12" rotor will fit behind a 15" wheel.

 

thanks

That's fine, because the rotor diameter doesn't have nearly as much effect on the braking power as the calipers and, if I recall, both the 11ish inch and the 12 inch Wilwood kits come with the same kickass calipers

Good to know.

 

yep they both come with the very same 4 piston caliper

 

There are a few 15" wheels that will clear the 12.2" set up if you get a lower offset. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 15x7 will work.

 

I knew a guy here that had that setup, he just ran 17's so he had no problems, but he was tired of having huge rims

 

i have had 17s and now i have 15s both have the same type of tire and as far as handling goes i love the 17s so get the big a$$ rotors and put 17s that is what i am going to do, but hey that is just my opinion. DO WHAT YOU WANT

yeah .. im planning on getting 16s soon ... but i have been debating 17s

 

what offset would i have to get to run a 15x8 with the 11.1" rotors ? and i know i will probably have to roll my fenders

 

i have a +38 and it clears the calipers nicely

 

fastbrakes has a nice big brake kit for 15"

I believe the problem with the Fastbrakes kits is that they're extremely overpriced compared to Wilwood's own kit, considering they use most of the same parts.
