couple wheel questions.

did some forum/thread searching and maybe im blind but couldnt find what i was looking for. i want to run 13" disc brakes up front and 12" in the rear to ensure the truck stops when i want it to. so im looking to run these wheels....

http://static.summitracing.com/globa...b-510206_w.jpg

in a 15x12 5x4.75 5.5 b.s. rear, and 15x6 5x4.75 3.5 b.s. in the front. just curious if im gonna have room for everything.

aswell, i need to send in my measurements for my fab 9, and was wondering how to figure out the width without having to buy and set the wheels and measure.....

thanks guys!!

Re: couple wheel questions.

I don't think the 13" brakes will even come close to clearing on a 15x6" wheel. The caliper body will not facilitate a 15" wheel, unless you go to a 4" or 3.5" wheel, which probably wouldn't survive the weight of your truck. That wheel looks like it has a rather large barrel on the rear, but it's gonna be a crap shoot I think.

Why not just upgrade to the Wilwood D52 dual piston caliper in the front and rear, and just have 12" matching brakes front and rear?

Just my .02, Good Luck
