Wilwood Brakes

It it true that this wilwood brake kit will push my front wheel out 1 inch. Like it states on the second page of this....http://www.wilwood.com/PDF/ds450.pdf...on like the 3rd of 4th bullet.

Also since it requires 5 lug the 95gt spindles are the best choice right?

Any help would be nice

Yeah, if you look on fig 1 of page 2 it shows the stock mounting surface for the wheel, and the new one is .99" farther out. So just get a wheel with a 1" deeper backspace

I have wildwood brakes too. But they dont stop very well because i have manual brakes.[8D]The price you pay for a ground shaking thumper.

RE: Wilwood Brakes

The thing is i want to run 03 cobras on my car 17x9 all around. I dont know if it will cause an issue with the fender. What types of wheels are you guys running? And what brake setup did you guys end up running?
