Pictures of 18" wheel and brake combos?

[Chicken Louie]

Deciding on 13 or 14 brakes with my 18 inch wheels?? Can members post some pictures of their combos?

Thanks in advance

Still a work in progress right now so there are no calipers in the front in this pic, 14" C6 Z06 brakes.

13.4" C6 Z06 rear brakes, 18X9" O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera wheels all around.

Baer 6P calipers on 13" rotors. 18" frt wheel. As already noted, careful with valve stem clearance.

[Chicken Louie]

Thanks for all the photos.

Bob is there enough clearance with the valve stem to run the 6P with the 14 inch rotors? I am running Rushforths as well and that was a question I have.

Thanks

I think so Dave but don't want to say for sure. The Baer website has their brake profiles/templates available for download in their Tech section; best thing to do is have your wheel vendor look at the profile and make an informed call vs. their wheel. Backspace, the wheel design itself, and the location/style of the valve stem can cause interference with a caliper of that size. My wheels are Bonspeed's.

I'm going with the Wilwood 12.19" wit the 6 piston calipers and 18" wheels. I would go with the 13" 6piston but they are almost twice the cost. For what I will be doing the 12.19" 6 piston is fine.

I have 18 front with wilwood 14inch rotors and 6 piston calipers.

Go the biggest rotor possible in side the rim you won't be unhappy that way.

That's a good lookin setup......red calipers, brushed rims, dark blue paint, nice.

14" rotors really make a difference in the look w/ 18's

That is such a cool set up, and a bargain at almost 1/2 the cost of the 13" as you mentioned. Quickly becoming our number one seller.

Frank,
If I run the AFX spindles the 12's won't work so I will have to decide between 13 or 14, What is the difference between radial and lug mounts? When looking at the wilwood kits?
Thanks,
Dave

[ProdigyCustoms]

There are no lug mount kits available for your application, and you want radial anyway as they offer improved staibility and clearance over lug mount.

13s are all you need, but 14s are only a couple hundred more?

Let me know and we will hook you up with a deal.

The backs are what kill me. Wish I got a bigger rotor and caliper for the back.

What size are your fronts? Your rears look like 12 inch? On some cars/wheels the look can be quit drastic.

Thanks for the nice compliment. As with many of our projects, unfortunately they're never really done!

[cmraman]

Not a close up, but you get the idea. Baer T4 caliper in the front with 13" rotors. It's a great set up.
