13" cobra brakes with stock 16" wheels-

[purpony]

Anyone using 13" cobra brakes on stock 16" wheels? I know some of the mustang guys grind the fins off of the calipers and squeeze them into 16" mustang wheels, just wondering if anyone has tried this with lincoln wheels.

Im most likely going to hub swap and just got with a 17 or 18" wheel, but i really do like my factory chrome wheels, i just hate how narrow they are and limited tire widths.... But i really want some better brakes.

If you what to keep the 16" wheels it would be easier to just do a mild upgrade like here ---- http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=83524

To use the 13" brake kit you need 17" or bigger rims

The LAST thing I would do to a brake caliper is grind stuff off of it. Let alone the major structural ribs off of the top.

If your keeping the 16" wheels, do a GT upgrade.

be careful with absolutes, as that isn't true..

the Team Dynamic Pro Race 2s in 16" will clear 13" Cobra brakes. barely. no stick on weights. hammer on lip weights only.

but really, just hub swap and get some 17 or 18 inch wheels with the cobra brakes.
