15's are better for the track but you are not really a track guy. Run what you like.

It appears that he is using a more street friendly brake kit than the Wilwood brakes we use in our brake kit. When we designed the kit we mainly intended for it to be used on drag oriented cars that see minimal street use. Now even with that being said most of our customers with our BMR 15" conversion kit do drive their cars on the street somewhat regularly so they will hold up to street duty I just wouldn't daily drive on them or anything like that.

If you guys have any questions on this kit don't hesitate to ask. I am more than happy to answer any questions or help out in any way I can.

I can do the entire kit with all the suspension components including the Strange double adjustable coil-overs and all the Wilwood brake components for $3418 shipped to your door. If this is something you are seriously considering let me know and I can get you any information you need.

I would, the sidewall on a 275/60 or whatever tire you run would help on the street and track... Plus they look bad ***! I'f I had a UGR TTG it would be on 15" RT-S lol.
