Default Hey Lou... Brakes....

Will your Brembo C5 Disc Brake Kit (#BB-131.9013A-1) Fit on my 99 Trans Am? Right now I have 16in. Wheels and am about to upgrade to 17" or 18" wheels (BBS RXII) Right now I have eradispeeds but I am about to run these to hell pretty soon. I need something a little better.... Will they fit automatically or do I need an adapter kit?

They will not fit the 16 " wheels but you will have NO problem with about 90% of the 17" wheels.

We use 17" Forgeline. If you let me know what brand you plan to get, I will confirm for y ou if there is room in your wheel.

Thanks,

Lets say either 17x9" Firehawk Wheels, 17x9" C5 Wheels, and Forgeline 17x9.5 LS/RS....

The C5 wheels need a spacer,

The forgeline wheels are ok

and the firehawk 17x9 won't fit.
