Need Ronal R15 (aka Firehawk Wheel) INSIDE diameter

My Borbet Type T 17"x9.5" wheels do not fit the Baer 13" Track system. I've seen a pic of a pieced together Brembo kit with 13.1" rotors that looks like it may fit. I saw the Brembos behind the Firehawk wheels (see this post: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=145828). My wheels have an inside diameter of 15", what I need to know is the inside diameter of the Ronal R15 wheels. I called Ronal, but I haven't heard back from them yet. Thanks for any info!

I'll do a quick measurement tomorrow morning when I get back from work.

My 12in baers have PLENTY of room behind the firehawks. I'll measure the caliper to rim distance too just to make sure but I am pretty sure firehawks will swallow a 13in rotor with no trouble.

I talked to a guy at Race Technologies, and he told me if I had a 15" inside diameter, the Brembo 13.1" setup will fit. I am positive the Baer TRACK (13") kit wont fit, but the SPORT (12") kit fits without a problem.

The only problem I'm going to have is finding the firehawk specific parts to mount the rotor disc to and the caliper. I doubt I'll be able to find them anywhere

Just a quick follow-up. I managed to misplace my tape measure somewhere so can't get an exact measurement for you.. looks like you have it pretty much figured out though. The Baer 13s won't fit, kind of a bummer I thought they would, 12s no trouble, but the space that is left between the caliper and the rim is just barely enough for me to force my index finger into.. not enough room

Good luck with what you choose to do, I for one love the 12in baers I have, going with those and eradispeed rotors would still be an extremely effective setup with visual impact, and should save you a few $ compared with Brembos..

I think the Brembo's are probably out of the question. I doubt if I'll ever find the firehawk parts I need, and I bet the brembo calipers/rotors are a tad expensive.

I'll probably end up going with the Baer Sport kit. Do the eradispeed rotors not usually come with the kit or something? Also, does the kit include hoses that will mate with the stock hard lines?

Sorry it took me a while to reply, I didn't realize you had posted again.

Eradispeeds are an option with the Baer kits, I think the upgrade is like an extra 250$.. If they were out when I bought mine I would of upgraded.

The kit comes with all the goodies and is essentially a plug and play installation. New braided stainless lines etc. and the whole setup is assembled on the spindles ready to bolt up when it arrives.
