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.

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.
