I believe they will work with minor changes. The wheel (17") fits over the caliper but the spokes hit. With 3/8" of spacing it still hits. Im thinking 1/2"-5/8" spacing is needed. If I could get extended wheel studs and add a spacer I think it COULD work. Any other ideas?

If you use an aggressive pad, you may want to get some better rotors. Several of us have had horrible results with those rotors and HP+ pads.

These are old street rotors. I have other rotors and pads for track days. Thanks though. Im looking for responses about using spacers and longer wheel studs.
Thanks

I only used them on the streets too... I almost found the wall.

As far as the spacer... I used one with the 4-*** Wilwood (SHO Stopper Jr) kit for a long time and beat on the car with no problems. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Stock studs arnt long enough for 1/2"+ spacers.
I'll have to install 2"+ studs.
Will 1/2 or larger spacers **** my wheel bearings quicker?
What is the thickness of the shostopper Jr. spacers?

I would honestly be scared to break a stud with a spacer that big. thats just my opinion though, I know guys who have broke the stock stuff w/o spacers but maybe that was a fluke.

You can buy spacers that bolt on and have their own studs. If you make the spacer hub-centric, you will be just fine with either route.

Adam WTF man? I think its great that you are doing all of this but I have to ask WHY what is the prupose of running a caliper larger than your dam wheel?

Looks cool I just dont get it.

Me, if I had to do this I would get made some spacers, not the cheap ***** ones from autozone and change out to real HD wheel studs and you should be fine. Also if you go this route you may have to watch fender clarence.

Good Luck:thumb:
