      Baer brake offset

      How much to the add to the track width? I know wilwood adds right at .38 of a inch to each side.

      Baer brake offset

      The Wilwood hubs we use (pinto style bearing) are about 5/8" less track per side vs the Baer hubs we use. I think if you have a little more information on your setup though, my measurements may not be accurate to your setup.

      So I am running wilwood part 140-9804 in the front and I ordered my wheels based off of the ridetech recommended measurements for the true turn of 18x10 5.75 backspace but I ordered 18x9 5.25 backspace figuring on taking a half inch of each side so I didnt have to modify the inner fenders. Im having clearance issues on the inner fender and I was curious if its caused by the brake kit I am using. Wilwood says the brake kit adds .38 inches to each side and their recommended measurements were based off the 48 hour Camaro which ran Baer brakes. I am curious if the Baer brakes keep the stock track width?

      Gotcha.. Yeah that would be worth a call into Baer to see how much it changes. Just in our experience they push the track width more so maybe that's not the case for this application.
