Phyte Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I've read that some 14" wheels fit, and some don't. I've got 17's in the garage, but still need tires and adaptors. These are the wheels I have: I'll be putting on the 17's next month, but need to drive it until then. I'd hate to get all the way into the brake job and find out my wheels won't fit. I don't want to grind the calipers down either. Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I've read that some 14" wheels fit' date=' and some don't. Phyte[/quote'] Those slotted mags may likely require a 3/8" or so slip on spacer to clear the front face of the vented 4x4 caliper. Why can't you drive it as is and do the front brakes later......if it's pads only then a set of KVR pads for $40US would easily get you thru the month, save you dough on shortterm wheelspacers and then you could pass on your near new KVR pads to a bud afterwards. Just an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyte Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 Ross, Its a lot worse then just pads. The front left caliper is sticking and will lock the wheel up real easy, and its leaking Also the rotors need turned bad. This is not only an upgrade, but a fix. I may just bite the bullet and get some tires and honda adaptors(from you). The wife may beat me though Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 "The wife may beat me though " Might not be such a bad thing' date=' more of us might deserve and/or enjoy that [/quote'] Absolutely...nothing like that good beating (and subsequent action ) after leaving a large Summit invoice laying around .... But really, use the 'safety angle' on the wife....the car is unsafe now and the upgrade will make the car doubly safe!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
