Question brakes question

ok so im planing on getting some slicks right, but they are mounted on 16' rims... my question is
is it possible to switch the brembos from the front to the rear and the rear brakes to the front WITHOUT any modifications in order to put the 16' rims?

Thanks!

Your bias would be completely fucked up if you swap the front and rear brakes.

Yeah I don't know the answer if they will fit or not. But like Permafried here.... I think your bias not only will be fucked up but just completely dangerous. I don't think you'll be able to stop safely AND quickly. Ever see a semi brake hard with an empty trailer? That'll be you man... even with just moderate pressure. You'll hit the end of the track and have a major spin out / crash.
What about looking into if SS/SC or some other vehicles front calipers will fit?
The stopping ability will be slightly reduced but at least the bias won't be AS messed up.... compared to swapping your fronts and rears.

Seems like an awfull idea.

Put the SS/SC brakes on the front there is another member on here that did this successfully on his SS/TC to clear a smaller rim

If your dragging it, you could just take your front brakes completely off, and tap the line. Attach a parachute like the big boys do, and yank the ebrake if needed. NO brakes FTW!!!

Of course, thats also like someone telling you to trust a hooker when she says shes clean...CLEAN hookers FTW!!!
