I only have the OEM F6 rear calipers (no brembos). I have the rear guards rolled of course and currently have 305/30-R20 with plenty of room for wider tires. Also I was considering getting some black Weld's but don't know the rim size I would need. cheers Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try get hold of some standard XR6T rear brakes and then you can fit a 15 inch wheel. I am running a 15x10 wheel with a 325 Mickey Thompson ET Street, but have done a lot of guard work to make it fit. My guards are probably around 2-3 inches each side wider than standard. I did run a 295 ET previously which required guard work also, but less of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if 16s will be the go??? I have a decent amount of guard work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
