I know I've seen bigger front brakes that fit 16" rims and use the stock bolt pattern before but I cant remember who makes it, I could have sworn that it was OEM, but I guess not. I've even seen references to OEM's front brake kit but I just dont see it one their site anymore. Sad I was going to buy that kit once I needed new front brakes especially at the $600 price tag that I remember seeing.

the wilwoods will fit a few 16 inch wheels. take a few measurements.
Will they fit the stock LS wheels? I have a feeling the answer's no.

nope. you could maybe machine some wheels a bit...but i dont think thats the smartest idea...lol
Thats what I figured. Now I have to see whats the deal with the bbk that I remember seeing that fits stock rims that costs 600 dollars.

The brakes you are thinking of is the RSM kit that cleared the Z rims. They are no longer sold though.
Mark, in the interest of being safe rather than sorry, could you get me some measuremnts off that kit, like from the center of the hub to the edge of the caliper and the like. I want to know without a doubt that they'll fit.

mark, you never told me if you finished these with the dynalite calipers
OEM wrote:Dave, I didnt know if you were going this route or another. If we use dynalite calipers they will be much thinner.
Mark
i know, thats why i wanted em...trying to get this behind the lss wheels, remember?

And from what I've seen dynalites are cheaper than dynapros, have a better and cheaper pad selection which are all bonuses.

hmm, so they should all fit, question is which one's better. I cant seem to decern much from willwoods website. Heck I cant even really get a breakdown of the difference between dynalites and dynapros.

you are 100% correct. there is 1 7/16 between the rotor and the back of the wheel. So I need to find a caliper that is 1 3/8 off the rotor. I believe that might be impossible.
