actually there's space for the weights. The only thing that's close is the back of the wheel face since the design dips inward. I can cup the caliper with my hand. If the face had an arched design like my Enkei's they'd be good to go. Gonna run a lil 5mm spacer and im straight. The barrel on these is spacious.

No kidding?!?! It looks so close but pics can't speak for physical view but I was gonna say some tape weights are a little big cause they're likely measured in ounces but but mostly the design of it would be the killer but hell if you're getting a hand in there, then Yezzir!! :D Now you just need some TOYO rubber ;)

It's just deceiving since it has that stepped lip, but it drops straight down on the backside all the way to the barrel leaving good spacing and the dynamite calipers are smaller than ITR calipers in overall size.


More stuff arrived just as I was leaving to work. Grrr. Pics tomorrow

Hey Child, do you plan on doing a rear disc conversion? if not, why?
Click to expand...
Don't really plan on it. Why, because not racecar and I'll have much more than adequate braking power up front. Looks would be the only thing to drive me into doing a rear disc conversion. To me, it's similar to a five lug conversion. If i'm not doing it for the actual benefits they have over stock, why do it at all.

I've had really early lock up, terrible brake fade, and long stopping distance issues with the 9.5" stock brakes, so I felt a need to upgrade. The 10.2" ex/si sized brakes proved to be a decent upgrade on my old coupe but still not that great even with my 156 whp b16a. So I went further with this setup i'm hopes of having a good system to go with the big k24a2

I've been looking to do a break upgrade myself, youre not having any fitment/clearance issues with the 15s?

The brakes clear the enkei's but the works will need a small spacer with my offset and disk type.

The enkei's barrel is a little less spacious but the spoke design is good. The works have plenty of barrel space and the spokes lift high enough, but where the stepped design meets the barrel, it's too tight even though I have an a-disk setup which leaves more room for brakes
