    Question 15" rims on my setup ?

    Hello!
    I would need your help, to find out if 15" fits, 17" is working fine.
    My setup is a 9" Ford solid axle, Wilwood caliber and disc.
    https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/Cal...emno=120-10521
    https://www.wilwood.com/Rotors/Rotor...emno=160-12286

    this setup ends on 6,3" center to caliber outside.

    Rim Offset is not clear yet, will be a big + number

    Would it help to measure the 17" clearence?

    THX !

    The FFR 15" wheel will fit fine, other manufacturers may be an issue

    Hi Levy, thanks for your info!
    approved tyres in my documents are 235/60 and 255/70, which rim size would you recommend ?

    my FFR Mk3 needs new brake setup in front, I think it is Mustang 2 spindle? Could you also help me finde a brake setup please?
    would it be possible to mount the same wilwood caliber and disk as I have on the back? would need a adapter to mount the caliber to the spindle mounts.

    THX

    I have brakes, the tire size I would run would be the 235/60 up front and a 295/50/15 rear. Feel free to call me at 520-494-2745 or shoot me a pic of your front spindles to [email protected] so I can see what you have.

    15" works fine, about 1cm clearance of caliber
    got a 15" rim from a friend to test
