11507, 14" wheels on GSX brakes
Posted by Semperboost, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Can you fit the stock steel 14s with the GSX brakes? I know I can't fir the 14" alloys cuz it don't clear it but does the steelies have more offset? thanks

nope and i believe it would be harder to fit steeles then allows, i don't know if you can do it with spacers.

No, overall diameter with caliper is just too big, won't fit on 14"s

nope...you cant fit them at all...gsx comes stock with 16's cuz of the brake clearance. you might want to try a 15 with a 195/65-15 on it if it clears.

I doubt 15's would clear it. Its one hell of a tight fit with 16's.

GSX comes with 17's stock
GST comes with 16's stock ;)

You need at least 16" tires in order to fit the dual pistion GSX calipers.

Does the spare tire fit on em. The reason why I ask cuz I'm bout to put on my GSX calipers and I still have a set of stock 14s at the house...and if they cannot fit the fronts then might as well sell em er something. thanks

you just brought up a good point.. at least in my book.

i wonder if our spare tires would still fit on the larger brakes.. i have yet to do my swap, but i fear that on the rare of circumstances.. i would have problems from getting a flat and not being able to put my spare up front.. but i suppose i could always grab a rear tire and put that on the front and the spare on the back if that were to happen.. just a though i suppose.
