Hello,
I'm sure this has been beaten to death already but was hoping for some insight regarding my specific setup.. I plan to drag race the car this year in FWD M/T fashion. It is an 89 factory turbo mirage with GVR4 knuckles and brakes up front as well as AWD axles that are equal length with intermediate shaft. My problem is I would like to run a 13x8 inch wheel with a pair of slicks. I was thinking the twin piston GVR4 calipers and rotors would not allow this to work and was just curious if anyone had any opinions on my easiest way to fit a 13 inch wheel..
This is the wheel I was hoping to use http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crw-1 ... /overview/

Had 13s like those, wasn't even close to fitting. My 15" wheels only clear the gvr4 brakes by a cunt hair.

You're not getting anything smaller than a 15" wheel on there with the GVR4 brakes. Even some 15" wheels might not fit.

Stock C53A turbine corvette style rims clear the 256mm rotors/caliper at the front, by like a few mm with new pads installed.
Galant parts as mentioned above, are physically larger as is the placement due to a larger rotor and bracketry.
