Default Wilwood Brakes with Year One 17" Honeycombs

Wilwood Front Brake Kit — 140-12278-DR

I am looking to get the 6 piston wilwoods with the 12.88 rotor. Is anyone running these with year one 17"? I am also a little concerned with the .13 additional stickout but I can probably solve that with tire choice.

Sorry, I don't have year one wheels, but was looking at the Wilwood brake kit your buying and noticed on page 5 of the instructions there is a diagram with measurements that might help you. It does says will fit 17" and larger wheels. When I did my front Wilwood brake kit I call for tech support and they were able to help me decide on which kit to buy. You will need to have the measurements of inside the wheel before calling. Sorry, not much help. If you do go with these it would nice to know if they fit properly. Thanks
