on wilwoods website its says "installing these brake kits may affect wheel offset". does any one know how much the std. backspacing will change or how much wider it makes the treadwidth? thanks again 69ozz

Not sure what kit you are referring to (my guess is a first gen Camaro) but Wilwood kits can change trackwidth up to .750" per side. On the first gen with the Wilwood kit expect the change to be .5625". Keep in mind that if keeping the tires tucked is of major importance that our kits (PBC kits) only change the track width by the face thickness of our hats used in the kits (around .250")......a lot less considering.

I have mustang II front and it moved it outward half an inch. Made me have to get new wheels.
