Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my rear wheels. For some reason these 15x10 aren't clearing the rear brakes. What brakes can i put in the rear to help with this? any of the previous mustangs, or mustang v6 brakes?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

What rear brakes do you have. The 15x10 should clear stock rear brakes exept the ones on the 13 gt500 just fine.

I have stock rear brakes. The 15x10 billet specialties i bought doesn't clear the brakes...
anybody know if any other mustang has a smaller rear brake i can use the rotor/bracket/caliper from to make it clear?

I looked into this over the weekend. Looks like you have to go back to 99' -04' rear brakes (10") to get somethng smaller than we have (11.8"). I have no idea if they bolt up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

^ you might be right.
my buddy has an SN95 in the back of his shop and i was able to put my wheel on that car and it clears the rotor and caliper... but we tried to put the rotor and bracket on my car and it doesn't work without some customization being done... sighhhh

I can't find an aftermarket rear brake kit either. Everything is bigger :(

Try the Baer SS4/Deep Stage brakes. They are more of a race style brake but still streetable with a thicker disc than the all out race ones.

How do those rear brakes clear being bigger rotors than stock ?
Dang, definitely can't spend $2k worth of brakes just so that the wheels work...

I will see if I can get some pics from our customers.


Only other way yours will not work is they were machined wrong which is very rare.
