Aerospace Components Brake Kit Question
 
So I ordered a set of Aerospace Components brakes but they could not really answer my question about wheel fitment. Does anybody with this setup know if it increases the track width? I understood there is caliper overhang and they include 1/2" spacers for clearance primarily for folks running slicks and skinnies.
However, does the actual wheel mounting area move outward? Reason I ask is they did not want to guarantee one way or the other as they don't do many of these cars running as tight a fitment as I plan to run (understandable). I am pretty sure my wheels have enough pad height and spoke dimensions to overcome the caliper overhang but my concern is whether or not the offset will work with the new brakes. TIA

Yes they do, how much I don't know it's been years since I put them on my Datsun 1200 but they did push the wheels out further. Enough that I had to get rid of my Weld Draglites and got some Champion wheels with better offset. This is a drag car with skinnys up front I believe they are 3.5 wide with a 2.25 back space http://aerospacecomponents.com/image...tang-Front.pdf it's for a Ford but it's the same deal, the kit is the same.

Thanks. I decided it would be most prudent to wait and install the brakes to measure the wheel fitment before I have the wheels made.
