I am glad to see the photo as I knew they were different and had the spec's but the photo of them side by side is telling.

In the pic below, I had 16" on...
Are those alloys or steelies? Alloys seem to clear easier.

I've never tried steel wheels on it.

Great job and a great upgrade - thanks for the write-up. Good pics too. Glad to hear they will work on 16" rims.

Did the trip in to work this morning. Leaving at 5:30 is much less traffice so I was able to take it easy on the brakes. All I can say is wow, what a differance. Pedal feel is great.

Nice job.

I don't think I could do it with my 17" wheels, they just clear the stockers now.

Will have to add Rear Disks at some point after my engine stuff is complete.

100 miles or so on them now, very pleased with the results. I've been gentle on the brakes this week. Feel great and absolutely no noise.

Has anyone else confirmed that the non Brembo rotors with stock calipers will fit inside of the 16" wheel?
