I think Fetter was running 16" Maxxim Advance wheels. I was looking into getting a set of them in 17s.

I'd be willing to bet most aftermarket 16" wheels will fit.

i run maxxim advance 16s but they are discontinued, i run 15"bogarts on slicks but those are $420 apiece, you could try some rota slips, i thought about getting those because you can get them in 16x8"




R.I.P. Brian Klocke, you will never be forgotten

I would and should get the rota slips but the offset is so high tire and rim may not clear on the 16x8. I kind of hate I got the wilwood kit now because of rim and tire problem I keep running into. I need some slicks for how much power i'll be pushing. The bogarts you running are 15in. rims and fit over the wilwoods?

I am looking for some steelies also that will clear it for winter. No luck yet!

Get ahold of diamond racing wheels for 16's and 15's that will clear the wilwoods. Very nice price!

They have different designs, I personally like the "D" shaped vent windows like in the pics below.

The brake measurements are quite simple to take. You need a straight edge and a tape measure. Put the straight edge on the outside of the caliper and measure to the center of the hub. We will double this measurement to determine the diameter of your brake package.

Take the straight edge and place it against the hub in between the studs and slide it out to the caliper. Tell us if the caliper is inboard or outboard of the mounting surface.

This will tell us what you need in order for the wheel to clear your brakes.
