Impala SS rim fitment
Does anyone know if the 17" Impala SS rim will clear a 13" brake setup? (I know about the bolt pattern issue and am converting to 5x5).

Depends on the calipers your using.
I see your "current project" lists using Wilwood so you will be fine. Wilwoods will clear stock 16" Iroc alloy rims and the GTA 16" rims in dia. So the 17" Impala SS rims would clear fine in diameter. Even if they are 1/2" thicker casting, they will fit. No rim is going to be a 1/2" thicker thoguh, Thats just dead weight and a waste of alloy.

Thanks for the info, Dean. I don't know about the actual exterior dimensions for the caliper compared to yours as yours are radial mount, IIRC, but I don't see that being an issue. I think my biggest concern is if they will clear on the sides.
redimp, I will post pictures eventually.
