rims and brakes - question
I am looking to upgrade the rear tires to 10.5 currently there are 17" rims, they have the Bullitt replica wheels. My plan is to have a Supercharger put on the car. Suggestions on brakes to use w/ 17 - 18 ' rims ? I have seen that the replicas run into a housing or clearance problem w/ Brembo HD Brakes..Any and all suggestions are helpful...
2nd- Besides the Axle upgrade/ and 31 spin/ any suggetions on the Rims handling any kind of torque/and power with an SC?

The proper brake lines, pads & fluid will be more than enough stopping power. If you want to go with larger diameter brakes, its more than likely a cosmetic reason (like me) There is a sticky/tech article from Jazzer floating around here that goes into great detail about brakes.
Edit: Found Jazzers write up
Instead of screwing around with clearance concerns I went with cobra front brake calipers (along with Hawk HPS pads and DOT 4 fluid)
