Re: Testing Perdoch brake kit fitment on a CTW Motorsports wheel.
I know this is an old thread but when I was looking to determine whether the CTW wheels would fit a 6th Gen Camaro SS front brake set up with the 13.6 inch rotors, I came here and did not see whether they would fit.
After working with Scott from BIGBRAKEUPGRADE to determine they would fit on paper, I installed them and can confirm that they fit with at least a half inch of spoke and barrel clearance using the pads with no counterweights that protrude past the caliper. They may fit with the counter weights but it would likely be close and I would recommend just getting pads without counterweights.
I hope this will help someone who may be interested in this front brake set up but is uncertain whether they will fit because usually an 18 inch rim is recommended.
I have included pictures to show clearance and fitment.

Thanks for sharing this info, I have a set of these CTW Motorsports rims (with Perdoch's 13" C4 HD Wilwood 4 FSL kit), and I love their lightweight, and ability to accommodate huge brakes for a 17" rim. Its too bad they're not in production anymore.

Is this announced somewhere? Their Facebook most recently says they're still waiting on wheels, but it has been 6 months or so since the latest post.
