Need affordable wheels to cover your BBK... Step inside

For those of you who have 13"+ big calipered brake kits and have problem finding wheels that will fit over your binders, CTW Motorsports has a solution for you in 17".

We recently confirmed the largest Baer brake kit (Extreme PLus 14") will clear with the 17" x 9.5" direct fit third gen wheels with room to spare. This is significant since many 18" wheels barely clear some large kits due to either caliper to barrel contact or caliper face to rear of wheel spoke contact. So far the wheels have fit over every BBK we have tried - but we can't confirm every application. 15" rotors will defnitely not fit, but are a rarity on our cars.

Hey that looks familiar! I'm still surprised myself that the wheels fit those brakes.

Me too - was hoping they were going to clear, but was surprised by how much they did when they were fit...
