Biggest brakes for a 17" rim? - Lateral-g Forums

JMitch19 · #1 11-30-2006, 06:50 AM

I'm running 17's up front and 18's in the rear. I want to run 13" rear rotors to fill the opening better. It will have C6 Z51 brakes in the rear. The problem is the C6 Z51 fronts are 13 3/8" and I'm not sure if they will fit under my 17" budniks. If not I will run the 12.8" C5 front. If anyone could tell me for sure if C6 fronts will fit or not it would be a big help.

Thanks

My Touring Classics front brakes (C5 12.8") are real tight in my 17" centerlines. I am thinking 18"s will be absolute minimun for the C6 Z51 setup. You will have to measure the i.d. of the rim right up to the web on the inside to be sure.

thanks for the reply. That is pretty much what I figured. Damn the Michigan roads for keeping me from running 18's up front.... ]
Oh well, anyone think it will cause a problem running the 13 3/8 rotor out back with a 12.8 up front?

I don't think you will have a problem.As long as you have a adjustable proportioning valve to a just brake bias front to rear.
