I've been looking at buying the 13" TCE Wilwood brakes. I read somewhere that 5mm spacers are required if I run my stock 17" S-Lites.

I have the M7 progressive springs, so it's ~1.3" lower than stock. I'm running 205/40/17 tires, but plan to go with a taller tire (205/45/17) next time around.

So, my question is, will I rub?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

 

99% sure you will not rub.

 

agreed... and if you do, it will be extremely minimal....of the self trimmming variety

 

That's great to hear! Thank you both for the replies...

I'm using 5mm Eibach spacers with my S-lites with 225x45x17 (20mm wider and 9mm taller tire than the one you want - with stock suspension) and have minimal rubbing on the rear when loaded (i.e. 2 adults w/some weekend bags) and VERY spirited driving. The rubbing is - not on top of the fender lip as expected - around the back 2 O'clock area.

IMHO you'll have no problem w/your choice.

 

Thanks for the replies. I've decided to change out my wheels, since I'm not 100% sure the brakes I want will fit behind the s-lites with a 5mm spacer. Time to see if my new wheels will fit
