      12" rotors with 17" wheels

      Could some please post some pics of these setup or give me your opinion on it. I am wandering if the 12" rotors will be to small for the 17" or if I should go with 13" rotors

      It depends on what type of 17" wheel you're running. I'm doing LS1 fronts because my fat lip style 17" hoops have a step that cuts down the ID. This is a common problem with fat lip style wheels.

      Not at all, In fact it may look over stuffed with 13s.

      Is this question pointing to a cosmetic perspective... and all you are concerned with is look's ??

      Install what suits your budget and mechanical needs...

      But if you are really worried about the look's alone, the following packages are a good balance...

      12" in an 16
      13" in an 17
      14" in an 18

      ... and yes, it depends on the selected wheel in the end to how the overall look will finish.

      From my exp. all depends on the application and wheel. This is a C5 (13" rotor)on a tall spidle with a 9.5" rim (4.5 back spacing) with 17" Centerline rims on my Chevelle. What are you working on?
