How do I get 15" wheels in the front with 13" brakes on my 91?

You don't? I doubt it's even possible with 16" wheels

Not gonna happen, there is a kit to put 12in brakes with upgraded calipers with 16in wheels. 13in brakes are going to require 17in wheels.

...... I thought this was going to be a joke thread. As everyone else has said, it won't work. You could TRY a spacer of sorts but it would have to be an extremely large spacer and you would almost have to be running skinnies.

wow...

they definately wont fit...
I put 99GT brakes on the front of my car. And I think they are slightly larger than stock rotors. I had a hard time fitting 15" welds on the front...

I have seen plenty cobras with stock 13" brakes have them so dont tell me they want fit. I know you have to have a spacer but dont know where to get it. This is for drag race only with 15 x 4 wheels in the front

There are 15" wheels that fit. Bogart makes some. However if you price them, they are $400 EACH.

If you are talking about normal run of the mill 15" wheels...no dice. Only the specially made drag wheels will work.

Rowdie,

You can buy the Bogarts that have the spacer made into them to clear the brakes but like mentioned they cost alot.

On the other hand you can go buy run of the mill Welds, a 1'' hubcentric spacer and longer studs.

Your choice.

Most guys I know running Cobras and 15" in front are using the skinny drag wheels and a spacer... about the only way I know how
