Then the rest of us could adjust by comparing that against our own brake systems to determine if our actual BS measurements seem correct.

Its probably not that important, given that we should measure ourselves, but thought it might help someone.

Thanks,

It seems to me that the critical measurement is WMS/WMS. I'd assumed that any size recommendations given by RT were based on using a duplicate of their setup. Change anything that impacts WMS/WMS (CA's, rotor hats, hubs) and those recommendations go out the window.

....and given the frequency with which there are variations between cars, even from the same year and same plant it seems incumbent on the buyer to do a lot of measuring before purchasing wheels & tires.
