    I'm using US Wheels Series 68 in 17x8 and 17x9. Tires on order, should be here next week or so.

    Mike do you know if those 17” wheels will clear the Wilwood 13” brakes ? Can you measure the ID on yours if you get time ?
    Thanks ,

    These are the 2003 Cobra 13" front brakes and the S550 13" rear brakes, so I believe the Wilwoods would fit, but I'll get some measurements for you.
