Front Suspension

[JumpinG]

I just installed some TRZ Upper&Lower controll arms along with some Wilwood discs up front. I have 15x4 Weld Magnum wheels with 1.25 backspacing. The brakes pushed the wheels out about 1" and now I have clearance issues because the car sits low ... I was told this is a common issue due to the hub design ](*,) and a different BS wheel will solve my problem....GREAT, I just spent $900 on these front wheels last year ](*,) ...SOoooooo NOW I will have to sell these but before I do I was wondering if anyone ran into the same issue OR has a 3.5" wheel with a 1.75 BS (with Wilwood brakes) with no problems??? As you can see in the pic below, the 4" wheel fit perfect BEFORE I made the front end changes. I also have a matching set of 15x8 with a 3"BS for the rear if someone wants a killer deal on the set of 4 wheels. I have 15x10 on the rear now.

Yeah that was an option but I already had the wheels and brakes :-({|=

I think the only difference would be maybe the bearings/races and the caliper mounting bracket

What clearence issues you having? I have the same bs rim with 28" tall front tires. Wilwood front brakes and my a-arm bump stops are .5" off the frame. The tires are close to the inner fender wells but nothing rubs. I can't fit my fingers up there. Ahh re-read the post ](*,) My rims are the 3.5" with 1.75 bs.
