    That's the one I have Alan. it fits my 6" wide 15" factory Vette ralleys. The answer I got was "depends on the wheel and backspace."

    Talk to the vendor, my vendor was willing to swap rotors if they didn't work with my wheels. hotrodsusa is his business, he sells alot of the wilwood stuff on ebay.

    Thanks!

    I called Wilwood and the tech guy said the slightly larger rotor in the 7675 kit would be more brake, but it would be only a little better than the 2285 kit. The question now is do I want to limit my rim choices for a little more brake!

    Why do I make things more complicated than they need to be!?!? :Do No: :Dou:

    I'm pretty sure just about any modern 15" wheel would clear, but don't hold me responsible if it doesn't. :)

    Alan, see my response in the Race Car Chassis Tech forum - I replied to your other post. Any questions, just let me know. The wagon looks like it's coming along nicely - it's going to be awesome!

    I'm in the process of adapting that kit to my '62 Special. Are you guys running drums in the rear? What master cylinder did you use?

    I have discs in the back and I'm leaning towards the Wilwood 260-8555 master cylinder.
