Will these rims work with the 13" front brake?

Will these work with the 13" front brake upgrade? I know they say you need 17' wheels but I recently read that you also need certain 17" wheels?

Don't see a link or pic of wheels :shrug:

You are looking for 17" wheels with the correct bolt pattern (5-108mm aka 5X4.25") (Mustangs are 5X4.5 so they do not fit our cars without modification)

The correct offset is 38mm-42mm. 17" wheels that meet these specs should easily clear a 13" set of brakes. On the 12" kit, you need to bemuch more careful. They clear the slicers barely (they will really slice), and many but not all aftermarket 16" wheels will clear. I actually had a set of AR 16" rims that would clear the 12" kit without a spacer (again barely).

Does this help?
