Resizing Brake Rotors
Has anyone ever taken a brake assembly and made it a smaller diameter? Wilwood is showing a max rotor for a 15" wheel to be 11". Their next size up is a 12.18 rotor stating a 16" wheel minimum. I think this size would be very close to fitting. If not I wonder if I could turn maybe .400 off the diameter rework the caliper mount or make a new one. This would only work I know if it had the area at the small diameter of the brake pad. I have something like 11.90 rotors on the rear (Corvette). Front is Mustang II.

Lots of cars use 12.18" rotors and Wilwood Superlites inside of a 15" wheel. It's close, but it works.

I have 15" wheels, Wilwood slotted 12.18 x 1.25 GT rotors, and Wilwood SL6calipers. All I needed was a 3mm spacer.

Thanks guys for the great insight. I thought maybe by luck I may not have any clearance issues. But if I did it would be minimum. The rears have some room to spare and they are damn near 12.187. More brake is good. Can't go if you can't stop! I will call Wilwood before I do buy.
