I am looking at running wilwood brake kit 140-7675D Wilwood Dynalite Big Brake Front Disc w/12.19 rotor size has any one had any problems with rim clearance? I am currently running weld drag lites but plan on switching.
Thanks

I am not sure if you will have the same issues I had with wheel fitments but this is a couple things I ran into.
I am running AFX spindles with Wilwood 13", 6 piston brakes (140-8031) Rear is Wilwood 12.19, 4 piston (140-7149).

Check wheel diameter clearance - Because of the Wilwood front brakes I am running I had to run a 18" wheel.

Check caliber protrusion past rotor flange. - I had to have Budnik make my wheels to accommodate this. The caliber was protruding so far out it hit the back of the spoke of the wheel.

Again you my not have these issues but it was definitely not something I anticipated on.

I've just installed Wilwood 13" rotors and the 4 piston FSL caliper. They clear my 17" inverted lip rim.
