how big are the rotors? doesn't look like you can run slicks or dr's on those. what about winter wheels? you're not leeving the stocks on, are you?

Interesting. I bought some rotors from a vendor (more for looks) and got the green stuff pads. No break dust so far (olny been about 300 miles) but in the directions for breaking them in, It sez if u do it right, there will be a squeeling for a while. Sure as **** there is a suqeeling and it drives me nuts. Makes me feel like Im driving a hooptie.

I was told if the breaks get to big, ya can't fit drag's on em.... i'll have to 2x check that.
dr's and slicks mostly come in 16's. so if a 16" rim can't clear the brakes and rotors, then you can't use them.

not necesarily. a rim is measured by the outside diamater. so an 18 rim is 18 from the outside edge to outside edge. that doesn't mean you can fit 18' rotors in tere. the inside edge is going to be smaller. it specifically says "MAY" fit "some" 16" wheels. so more likely than not it won't fit many at all.

read my above post my steelies BARELY clear my stock brakes and rotors. anything bigger and they wouldn't fit. it's the INSIDE diamater, not the ouside diameter that is important.
