tires and wheels tii big brake wheel question

[sgrant914]

So my brakes are giving me issues and am thinking of upgrading in the process. Performed a search but couldn't find for sure if the 5 series brake upgrade fits under stock tii alloys.

Anyone know if i can fit vented rotors and calipers under these wheels ?

Here is a pic of the alloys on my car

Thanks

i run minilites 13X6 snd cannot fit anything larger than stock tii calipers

Why are you upgrading?

Stock tii brakes are pretty awesome from the factory. You can use some aggressive pad and be done.

But if you want bigger brakes because you will think you will out-drive the stock brakes, I have some good news for you. You won't. At least not with these wheels.

Well, the only reason for the upgrade would be since I have to purchase some calipers and rotors anyway to fix my issues , there isn't much more effort or money involved to throw some e21 hubs on there and go with the bigger brakes.

But sounds like my answer is no it won't fit with current wheels anyway.

Thanks everyone.

You might ask Jeremy at IE about whether their 5 series kit fits - if they do, you'll notice a difference between the vented rotors vs solid (of course, presuming proper front/rear bias, material, etc). Shoot me an email for contact info for a guy who can likely guide you in selecting a friction material. -KB

Not entirely answering your question but... I bought some 5-series calipers and they wouldn't fit in 13" turbines but would in 14" bottlecaps. Good luck!

I run 5er calipers under 13" minilites, and haven't had to grind anything.

So I guess we don't know...
