they look pretty good dont they.....except they dont quite fit
they need about a 1 inch spacer on the lssport wheels...more on the z wheels

First off, does Baer list the minimum clearance between the caliper and the wheel? I know it's small... but that looks to nearly be touching!

Secondly... a 1" spacer will have your tires sticking out the sides like a Mexican lowrider.

Nice try though!

Eitherway can you imagine the heat in there with hardly any space.

Yeah it would look funny but you could probably get away with it for track use, and change them at the track, but too much work IMO.

When i did the 13" brakes i tried my stock Z wheels and they where a no go.

Woah that is tight!
By any chance I see you have S/F. Do you know if they fit with GT rims?
Don't they make a 12inch rotor as well?
