Will the Wilwood 12" front brakes fit under a stock 16" sunfire GT wheel?
Friday, October 19, 2007 3:44 PM
Well i got the car tuned yesterday and now even with 250hp i am defiantly needed more stopping power .... but since i drive this in the winter and i put on 16" after market wheels with winter tires I am only doing the front big break kit.. but i still need something that will clear a stock 16" wheel ...that way i know for sure mine will work...

Found this...
Clicky
Looks like its a no go for stock rims with out spacers, but your rims might be ok. Maybe. See if you can find someone around with the wilwoods, and try your rims on.

well i measured the smallest part inside my winter wheels and i have 14.125" of clearence... from what i can see on Wilwoods site it looks like you need about 13.5" to be safe... its just now i dont know about the spokes on them...

Hard to say without trying it. Someone here must know the answer, or have the means of finding one.
