View Full Version : caliper clearance?
Does anyone know if a 12" rotor with a 2 piston caliper will clear this wheels spokes? It's a 17x8 wheel, Thanks for the help

Not enough info bud... Rotors, Calipers ,backspacing and offset are all different from car to car and wheel to wheel. Without knowing ALL of the numbers no one can say. The only thing you can do is measure what you have and ask the wheel manufacturer for caliper clearance specs.

If they are PBR style calipers(both pistons on same side), I believe they would clear. I have 12" rotors with PBR 2-piston calipers (1LE rotors and calipers on my El camino) and they clear the GTA wheels I have with no problem. They even clear 15" rally wheels. The IROC style wheel should have a bit more clearance than the GTA wheels, with the spokes slanting out (GTA's are straight). Of course, always good to check. Maybe check www.thirdgen.org and see what they say, someone there probably has those wheels and can help.
Randy,
They are pbr 2 piston calipers. You say these would clear a 15" rally also, I didn't think that was the case but if so that's great. Thanks for the info.
