question...im going to go with a big brake kit but i'm worried about the clearance for the front wheels. I'm asking any of you that have Vintage wheel works v40 wheels. i have 17x8 in the front.

wilwood 12.19 rotors w/ 6 piston fronts

OR

wilwood 12.9 rotors w/ 6 piston fronts

does anybody have this setup with either the 12.19" or the 12.9" wilwood rotors?? with 17's?

i know that the big brake kit from MCB fits it has 13" rotors; as i've seen it in articles with VWW 17" wheels.

does anyone have the template to check the clearances?? for wilwood brakes??

any personal experience putting 13" rotors under 17" wheels?

I believe there are measurements in the installation guides for each of the Wilwood kits. They are available on their website. I haven't seen templates though like you can get from Baer.

Not sure about the VWW wheel dimensions. Might give VWW a call and see if they could provide them to you. Love the V40's BTW...

I think the VWW works wheel's have about .875 spoke Clearance.
