n body brake and caliper outside diameter?
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 5:51 AM
Does any have or willing to measure from the center of the hub to the furthest outside point of the caliper on a n body setup. Trying to see if its possible to put 13s over them and can't be more than 6 3/8"

oh man i dont know about that... i know stock the smallest the n's run is 15" and its tight even then.

my bogarts barely even fit over them.

mine are still at the machinist being all put together etc for the n-body knuckle swap, etc. i can get ahold of them and see if they can get some measurements...

I'll get you a measurement this evening if I remember. I've got an assembly sitting on my bench right now that I can check out.

i don't think it will fit i think you would be hard pressed to get 14s there

i think the rotor is 11" diameter because the nwf swap gets 12" rotors and 16s are the smallest they go i think 13s are a no go

Hmmm...I was thinking if you use N body spindle, you should be able to use a 98-02 Camaro drag kit from Wilwood. It has 4 piston calipers and a 2pc 11.75" rotor. That "might" give you the clearance you need to run a 13" rim or at least down to a 14" rim

I know the guys running 13s around here have to grind down their factory jbody calipers, so N body will be TIGHT.
