I'm still in planning stage of my car and ran into the normal problem. I'm want to run 275/40-17 in the front and 315/35-17 in the rear. I know I need to tub the rear and I'm going to run ridetech truturn front end so I can run that size up front. Only rims I can find in my price range and size I need is cragar s/s in 17x9.5 and 17x11. Question is has any one tried to run kore 3 big brake kit with these rims? I know there is some it works with and some it don't. I don't have the rims or I would just get the template that kore has n test it out. As always thank you for your input.

The right person to ask would be tobin. he may know. The smallest i've seen is an 18" rim.

I had those wheels on my 68 GTO in 17x7 and 17x8. They do not have a lot of spoke clearance. With a 1/4 inch spacer both fit a 13 inch bear GT plus kit using the PBR 2 piston calipers. Anything larger is not likely to fit.

Here is an old picture of my car right after I installed the front suspension and brakes but before I adjusted it. It is set way too low to drive (like 1/2 inch from the ground) but I had to take a picture.

Make sure you get the right lugs and/or studs (if you want spacers) for those wheels or you won't have enough threads engaged for it to be safe.

That's a nice ride. How strong are them spacers? I've never used them before and not to sure about them.
