This is bugging me know. Im trying to budget out my project car, and for brakes im stuck. at first i thought that i would get 13" baers all around. Well you have to have a 17"+ wheel for those. I plan on getting 18" ford racing wheels so that would be no problem. However if i go to the track like i want to i couldnt run welds with slicks because they are 15". so what are the biggest rotors i can run with 15" wheels? i would just do a regular junkyard 5lug conversion, but i want some stopping power and looks behind those wheels.

any ideas??????

You could always get cobra space safer spares that will fit over the brakes.Also the bare brake kit is virtually the smae brakes that come on the cobras so it would be cheaper to put together the cobra brakes it cost me a little over a grand .The front calipers are exactly the same they are made buy pbr but one says baer and one says cobra.

Go to baer.com. They have a section where you can print off templates and see exactly what will fit.
