Default Brakes to clear 15" wheels

What do most people use to clear the 15" wheels on front and rear? I dont really like the idea of grinding the calipers to fit wheels and brake upgrades are always a plus!

FYI--I have a Moser 9" with the stock brakes on it.

Thanks
Jason

Basic rule of thumb for disc brakes is the rotor need to be 4 inches smaller than the wheel. So for 15 inch wheels you can use 11 inch rotors. There are some 15 inch wheels that might be able to fit 12 inch rotor but you are taking chances.

Good luck.

I asked Strange about them and I was told they were race only brakes. Im looking for something that can be street driven also.
