Im looking for a set of rear brakes that a 15" wheel will clear. Anybody know of any swaps from other cars or smaller brake kits that will work on an FD?

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif so your asking for a brake DOWNGRADE?

There is not going to be any fd3s specific brake kit made that will fit a wheel smaller than the stock 16" rim. I think a little more info might help someone get an idea about what you want to accomplish.

may i ask why the hell you would want a smaller rear brake setup and smaller rims? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif

He is trying to run a set of weld 15x10 (7.5" back spacing) and a MT drag radial 325/50/15. The wheel and tire fits perfect except for the brake caliper sticks out a little too far and hits the inside face of the wheel.

What he said, having depth issues.

DRAG RACE SETUP! cool! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif you may want to post this question in the drag racing forum too so the SERIOUS drag racing guys can chime in https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif and you can see what they're running...

i would imagine this would be a completely custom setup though but i guess since your obviously building a serious drag car that some fab work and customization is what you wanna do anyways! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683827.gif

I'm not 100% but I believe Wilwood sells Ti rotor / caliper for drag racing purpose. I would contact them and see if they have any application for your particular set up...



Or depend on how much material you have, you might be able to machine out some material from the caliper and the wheels to get the stock calipers to fit.

I'm having to get my rears made at the cost of my e-brake.

Looks like its gonna be a 5.5 backspacing with fender flares, or an 8" wheel. The 10 inch hits the strut.
