So the aluma stars will not fit front or rear with stock brakes?

That is correct. You might be able to grind the begeezus out of the rear caliper and put a spacer in there. But as you can see in the photo there's a 1/2" of free space back there. A hell of a lot to get rid of and space out.

As for the fronts, you would need a big *** spacer and remove a ton of front caliper material. You would be removing way too much for it to remain safe. The stock brake setup is just too big for them.

I'm going to get the tires swapped to the rims today. I can pull the calipers off the front and show you what they look like. I don't have the replacement brakes yet, so you won't see those. I have the 12 bolt out of the car so I can take it to install the spool and gears. I won't have that done until next weekend. But I will post pictures of what the rims and tires look like.

Here are the fronts mounted


Here are the rears (they look HUGE, but they are only 28's)


I'll have them on the car towards the end of next weekend. Waiting for brakes, have to install the spool and new gears and the transmission first.
