What kind of car GT,COBRA,MACH

IIRC the cobra and mach have 13" front rotors and 11" rear rotors so without a different spindles thats your limit.

You can fit 14" discs. Calipers vary a bit, so double check before you buy a set.

I think the limit is 13'' - 14'' inch and 2-4pistons,I belive thats why all mach 1's cobras with 13inch brake kits or shelbys with 4 piston brembos etc have 18" inch rim minium to fit them.

now your talking BIG 4 PISTONS IN THE BACK AND 6 PISTONS IN THE FRONT, I dont think 18 inch rims clear them calipers thats why they use big 19-20-22inch rims on vipers vettes porsches to clear there huge 6 piston brake kits. esp when are gt's have a small 1-2 piston rear brake setup thats only 10-11.8 inch.
