What size of BBK can I fit in a 16inch wheel? I have been looking at the wilwood 11.75inch kit for my car?

Thank you. How big could I go with a 16 and also lets say a 14 or 15 inch wheel girlfriend wants to go big in the brake area.

go to the bottom of that page...........those are 12inch rotors on a B13 with 16's

With 14's, don't worry about it. Take the brakes off because the car is a sissy anyway.

With most 15's, our 11inch FastBrake kit will fit

I just realized how crappy my rear brakes look. Will those 10.9" rotors fit with those 13" wheels that I have on my car?

they probably would not fit with 13's in the back Mickey, you would need to go bigger

I'm not sure if you realize this, but no-one uses 13's on Se-r's besides you.:):)

well those 13's came off my 1st Sentra SE. when it got totaled I took those wheels off and put them on the SE-R because the tires were brand new. The SE-R wheels had bald tires so I put them on the totaled car. This SE-R was in storage 6 years, so it sat on these 13s. The new rims I bought for this car, rubbed against the rear struts. So I had to put the 13s on the rear because the car wouldn't roll. That's reason my car has those TSWs in the front was, the new rims rubbed and the rear TSWs were both flat. The 13's were all I had.

LOL, yeah I will give you the sissy comment... And just to clear things up this is her, and she is standing in the garage in front of my car so its not just some random girl I pluked off of myspace somewhere. And might I add, I am quite proud to call her mine.

I didn't think even stock SER brakes would fit in 13" wheels

I also had a problem on my 91 b13 4dr I had and I had 17x7.5 wheels and I had to put 5mm spacers on just the rear to make them work and hammer the strut up where they rubbed at, but now Iv got 16x7s and love them with BF rubber. No problems

guess I cant buy the 10" brakes for the rear since the 13s wont fit over them. I could always bring the rear TSWs with me when I come to pick the car up.
