I know I've seen bigger front brakes that fit 16" rims and use the stock bolt pattern before but I cant remember who makes it, I could have sworn that it was OEM, but I guess not. I've even seen references to OEM's front brake kit but I just dont see it one their site anymore. Sad I was going to buy that kit once I needed new front brakes especially at the $600 price tag that I remember seeing.

the wilwoods will fit a few 16 inch wheels. take a few measurements.

Will they fit the stock LS wheels? I have a feeling the answer's no.

nope. you could maybe machine some wheels a bit...but i dont think thats the smartest idea...lol

Thats what I figured. Now I have to see whats the deal with the bbk that I remember seeing that fits stock rims that costs 600 dollars.

Leafy, I still have the design if you wanna purchase a set. They cleared my 16" volks not a problem at all.

Yes I knew it was you. I'll get in contact with you when it comes time for me to do it.

The brakes you are thinking of is the RSM kit that cleared the Z rims. They are no longer sold though.

Mark, in the interest of being safe rather than sorry, could you get me some measuremnts off that kit, like from the center of the hub to the edge of the caliper and the like. I want to know without a doubt that they'll fit.

They are dynapro calipers, I believe they measure 2" from the rotor to the outside of the caliper. Rotor sits on hub about .25" so if you have 2" or a little less it will fit.

What size is the rotor?

mark, you never told me if you finished these with the dynalite calipers

Dave, I didnt know if you were going this route or another. If we use dynalite calipers they will be much thinner.

Well a dynalite will for sure fit behind a lss wheel. They measure 1" or something really tiny. Thats what you guys want?

YESYESYES!!!

And from what I've seen dynalites are cheaper than dynapros, have a better and cheaper pad selection which are all bonuses.

i have his kit with the dynapro and there freakin awsome. Ive got maybe 1.25" between the caliper and my 18" wheel

Actually, it's about an inch and three quarters, if you're talking about the FDL. The NDL is actually wider, at 1.9".
