<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (REDZMAN)</div><div class='quotemain'>Unkay, he had Konig what's? Mine are Traffiks, and looking at them, the entire wheel except for the hub is away from the calipers and disks.

I don't see how one brand wheel will fit and one wont. That's a blanket statement. Now, if you say Konig Triumphs or whatever, that are smaller than 17's, I'd belive it.

I'm sure Racing Hart and Volk make some rims that wouldn't fit this kit.

See what I mean?

If I get some 22 inch Konigs, this will fit. I even think if I had 17's or 18's it'd fit. I'm not getting this kit, but still.</div>

Your not understanding.

1st of all, all racing harts and all Ray's Engineering wheels 17" will clear the brakes (this was proven with the help of using a carboard cutout of my brake diameters and the folks at the local wheel shop and friends.)

Different brands use different manufacturing processes and designs, thus they have different inner wheel sizes. Its not really that hard to understand.

Some wheels are designed with the use of aftermarket brakes in mind, others aren't. Why do you think that there are ads now to state whether or not certain wheels are designed with big brake kits in mind?

I've tried a set of Konigs myself, and they didn't fit

Yuri (Batlord) had the Konig Appeals

 

Right, A set of Konigs.

Not all of them.

Hah hah hah hah...

LOL

I understand what you are getting at, but I guarantee, if I had the money to do so, that I could find a set of Konigs to fit that brake kit.

Do what you want, say what you want.

I'm done giving my input in this thread with you belittling everything I say.

 

I didn't belittle you man, get some backbone, all I tried to get across is that you can't put a blanket statement out there like "Only very expensive racing rims will fit that".

It's BS.

Sorry.

Blanket statement?

I'm simply stating that buyers need to understand that their wheels might not fit on the car with the brake kit on. Who said that only expensive rims will fit? I merely said that the higher end rims were pretty much a guaranteed fit from MY experience. No where in any of my posts have I stated that ONLY high end wheels will clear these brakes and none other.


You ask for the Konigs that I've tried as if I never had tried them? I tried the Verdicts and they didn't fit.

As for having a backbone, your talking to the wrong guy pal. Next time read the the posts before making a statement full of errors

 

Yeah, blanket statement.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Konigs for one, will not have enough clearance to fit over the brakes although the higher brand wheels such as Ray's Engineering (volk, g-games, etc), and Racing Hart should have no problems. </div>

That is a blanket statement. You said "Konigs for one will not have enough clearance to fit over the brakes", but you also said you've only ever tried one set, one size. I think we all understand that you like the highest quality expensive stuff mang, no problem, that's your way, but again, I belive if I had a set of these brakes, I could find PLENTY of rims to fit. Prolly even some American Racing rims from Wal Mart. Not every brand of MFR makes all of their rims the exact same, I'm sure there are some Volks or Racing Harts that won't fit.

I did read all the statements, but again, you are making blanket statements based on one rim fitting.

Again Maier, you said in your last post above, "higher end rims". If you aren't talking more expensive rims, I don't know what you are talking about. Higher quality? Higher cost.

We ALL understand that if you get a big brake kit, you'll need bigger rims to fit them. Wow. Not hard to say. But saying things akin to "Only these high tech very expensive crappy looking rims like mine will fit this kit, so if you have any other's, you shant bother" doesn't help anyone, especially when you've tried one set of a brand of rims you say will not fit the kit.

Simple.

Now, I see after having re read this entire thing that we are way off topic.

Fact, this is a nice kit.

Fact, this is an expensive kit.

Fact, if you have stockies and buy this kit you'll need new bigger rims.

Fact, my 16" Konigs won't fit this kit.

 

fellas, stop.... heres the deal.

higher priced wheels brands will put into account big brake kits more when developing there wheel. this doesnt mean that a whole brand of cheaper wheels will not fit, nor does it mean all more expensive wheels will. not one person on this site will be able to know your wheels exact dimensions, so if you are interested in this, call (866) 99BRAKE (992-7253) with DETAILED wheel specs, and find out for yourself.

now stop the bickering tongue.gif

 

Blow me.

LOL

It should basicly be your inner diameter and offset right?

 

here ya go. inner diameter, offset, caliper clearance, and backspacing all need to be factored in.

 

Well that completely blows. I was hoping to get some 16" Volk Racing CE28N's on with a good brake system. You know...with all the Brembo brakes out there...and Wilwoods...you'd think at least ONE of them would work for us. :?
