so im tyring to think, i want some wheels for my car, but im not gonna get a set if im going to go 5 lug down the road. i know you can get rear disc conversion, but what can you do for the front? can you get any good brakes under a 16" pony wheel? or do i need to get 5 lug 17", what about 4 lug 17"?

also can i see pics of gt hatches with 03 cobra wheels? i like them allot on lx's but havent seen any on gts..

Enjoy
 
so i should just go 5 lug and get 13" brakes?

Yes you should. Here is a pick of my old 13 inch rotors and cobra calipers, Now i painted the calipers red and i have zinc plated cross drilled and slotted rotors though. Looks 100 million times better now. But i dont have a pic of the new setup yet. Heres my old setup pic though. Oh and i'd go 14's if you can afford it. I'm doing 14's on my next fox for sure!

here's a pic of the brake setup... I was thinking about getting the 14" but then you need to get 18"rims.. then you start running into clearance issues and not enough meat on the rim..

Baer does sell decent 4-lug kits. Basically they are modified Corvette and Camaro brake setups. The 13" version was first used on the C4 vette (and later the Sn95 Cobra) and the 12" version came on special 4th Gen Camaros (1LE package) i beleive.


You can use the 12" with 16" wheels I beleive. All it is is a 12" version of the Cobra brake setup.

Downside is cost, but if you have a set of 4-lug wheels you like, then this will allow you to keep them
