Front Wheel Size Limitations with Wilwoods?

[Blwalker105]

Sorry if this has been covered in the past, but is there any front wheel diameter or offset parameter that must be met if one is using the Wilwood 6-piston front brake setup?

17" is minimum. I have some 4 piston kits for fitting under 15" wheels.

I'm running OEM 2 piston sliding calipers which i think would be bigger than 6 pot Brembo's.
My summer wheels are 17" x 9" x 45mm

My winter wheels are OEM 16" x 6.5" x 48mm. I only have 3/8" clearance so I think 15" wheels would not fit.
I think Tamra and Andrew are running 15" wheels. You might want to search their thread.

The AP brakes I ran will fit a 15" wheel. https://www.essexparts.com/essex-des...0325brzfrsgt86
Using a 6 piston I would guess 17" would be needed. I ran 17X8 40mm offset.

Not really a street wheel but I run Real Racing Wheels Pro 6 3 piece 16x9 with 5"BS http://www.realwheel.net/ I have the "older" Wilwood BBK with 6 piston Superlite calipers on the front https://www.wilwood.com/PDF/Flyers/fl106F.pdf and the 4 piston Dynalite calipers on the rear https://www.wilwood.com/PDF/Flyers/fl106R.pdf this is on my 96 GC coupe rally car but could easily go on the 818.

On my 818r I run Wilwood Racing Forged Superlites https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/Cal...wid=3&appid=24 on a 11.75x1.25" rotors so I can fit them under 15" wheels so I can run Hoosier GT2 23" tall tires :-)
