What is required to get 15 inch wheels to fit in the front and back with cobra brakes. I have heard several different things from spacers to grinding calipers and what not I just want to know what I need to do.

1" spacer and you need to grind off the top outside corner of the caliper to get them to clear.

Is it even possible to fit 15" wheels in the front? I think the back may be possible (which are 11.65" rotors IIRC), but with 13" rotors in the front, I don't think it would even come close to fitting.

yup just need the 1 inch spacer to get the skinny to fit... and its a given you need longer studs
