Need Small brakes for 15" Wheel Im looking into getting a 15" rim on the rear of my car. Assuming that grinding wont do enough because i measure from center of hub to outer edge of caliper and is 7.25inch. What is the cheapest and smallest brake system i will be able to bolt it up to , to make the wheels fit?

What brand of wheels? I have NO clearance issues with stock LT1 brakes (no grinding). My set up consists of 15"x3.5" Weld Alumistars up front and 15"x10" Weld RTS's in the rear.

I am putting a champion beadlock wheel on the rear only and leaving front 17s. I want the rears to be 15x10 with 4.5 bs(narrowed 3"/side). Just dont wanna spend a grand if they wont fit. Do you know how big the inside of the rim is on those wheels?

I have spoke to champion myself about their wheels, and the inside barrel is 13.125" diameter. The only brake setup I could find that would fit are the Aerospace low profile brakes. I ended up switching to a 15 x 10 Weld RT-S to clear stock brakes instead.

Aerospace are pretty expensive. I was trying to see if there is a brake systme off an s-10 or some other vehicle that will for the gm 10 bolt 7.5 ring gear setup . that has a smaller diameter
