Anyone use Baer brakes on 16" wheels?

Just thinking about this today. WAY off one day if I had the extra cash to splurge on these beauties, i was wondering if they would they fit on the stock 16" RS wheels.

I love my stock wheels, so if these fit that would be awesome

Anyone have them on a 16"?

The sticky at the top of the page may be useful.

Nope, according to Baer you'll need 17" wheels at the minimum.

It's the 13" versions. They say they'll fit some 16" wheels.

I checked the sticky thread. I saw baer mentioned but i didn't notice an answer

Re: Anyone use Baer brakes on 16" wheels?

I have the Baer 13" track system under 91/92 Z28 wheels - the only factory 16" wheels that will fit over them. Keep in mind that there is only about 1/8" clearance and it is a 2 piston caliper - much lower profile than a 4 or 6 piston setup.

No aftermarket 16" wheels will fit over them - you will need 17" or larger to go that route.
