I love those brakes but don't think they would clear my 17" wheels.

Just like the Eagle Vision TSi and the Intrepid TSi models...

I'd be interested in seeing how large of a brake I can fit behind a 16inch rim... My car won't notice a difference from a 13 inch rotor to a 14 inch, especially when they are cooled correctly!

Hmmm, Now I have to think....

They come in 13" diameter too Clint. We can do 13" all the way to 15.5".

Matt we currently have Baer's 13" Track kit on our development car with 16 rims. Slight "massaging" of the caliper was required but not much. They sure fill up the rim nice! I will try to post a pic tomorrow from the shop computer.

Someone mentioned the need for a bigger master cyl. to push enough fluid for the larger calipers.
Can anyone identify an appropriate unit for that?
Is there an easy swap candidate?

I have C4 13" inside my Vintage Wheel Works 16" rims using a 1/4" spacer. Get alot of compliments on how it fills the space. Haven't tried any caliper massaging. Tyler - any pics? I'd like to shed the spacers.

No. Unfortunately there is not an easy swap candidate.

The best sizing is different for both, front and rear. The front needs a 7/8" and the rear needs a 1". Bummer that no one makes a cast unit that has differential bore sizing. Now there is an idea for a product.....

Never fear, we have an answer to that too. We have a product on the horizon that will facilitate differentail bore sizing for independant front and rear needs. It will even be bias adjustable........

Rick, Tyler is talking about my 67.... same wheels and same brakes and they still use 3/16" spacers. But they are only needed when the pads are fresh and full thickness.

I am working on that as we speak. The rear package is a differential bore, four piston, 13" set-up. Ill let it out of the bag when I have everything finalized.
