Default Can 15's clear my 13" brakes?
Alright I have 13" bear brakes on my hatch. I hear that 16" wheels are the lowest I can go. Is this true or is there a way to make 15's clear them? Thanks in advance.

all depends on the size of your calipers, offset and design of the wheels.

yeah... it doesn't look like my 17s clear them that much now but its most likely the rim design.

that looks really good, personally i wouldnt worry about it. At least you have big wheels for the right reasons, unlike 97.85% of the rest of the cars out there
