Wilwood Brakes w/PSE 15" Wheels
Hello, I currently have a Mustang II front suspension and brakes and would like to upgrade to the Wilwood brakes. Will upgrading to the Willwood setup move the front wheels in or out from the Mustang II brake setup. Also, which Wilwood setup is recommended Heavy or Medium. In additon, will the Wilwood setup allow me to use my 15" PSE wheels without any problems?
Thanks

Go with the heavy. They are only like 10.75 inch diameter and will easily fit into a 15 inch wheel. The light and medium duty are more oriented for drag racing and use a solic rotor. The heavy rotor is ventalated.

Thanks for the Info. Do you know if this setup will change my wheel offset?

Your offset should not be effected. By the way, you should be able to use the 12.19" rotors.

Wilwood does. Check out there web site for the correct kit or give them a call. Find out minimum ID of the wheel and measure before you order!

I can difinately deal with the weight reduction but cannot have the wheels out any further than they are now. Any suggestions? Besides changing the wheels?
Thanks

Double check.......
.......... with Wilwood. The wheel mounting surface should not move out bound unless more room is needed for caliper clearence. Be sure to check for clearence to tie rod, caliper to wheel, wheel weights, etc.!
I lost over 20 pounds of unsprung weight on each corner!
