13" Baer's 70 FBird - which 17"s fit?

[John Wilmesher]

Looking to run 17"x8" fronts (4.5 BS) over Baer "Track" Brakes w/13" rotor. Billet Specialties says no fit. What wheel's are working?

Stock spindle '70 firebird. I can't believe I need 12" brakes to run 17"s.

I built a 73 Camaro and used a C5 front setup on the factory spindle, which I believe it the same as the Baer 13 front brake system. I used Billet Specilties Qualifier wheels 17X8 with 4.75" BS and used a 1/4" wheel spacer to get it to clear the caliper. This put the wheel/tire in the same spot as using 4.5"BS w/o a spacer.

Hi

ROH Snyper's will fit - take a look at Touring Classic's site. This is what the silver 68 has on it (I have the same wheels).

I am using those brakes with with a 17x9 6" b/sp and 275/40 tire,
5" b/sp would be better, no rub while driving but rubs on sway bar at full lock.
