From what i hear its SOME 16" rims and all larger rims. I might be wrong though.

I found whole crap load of info using the Search feature. Give that a shot too.

That don't really make any sense, all 4 stock 14's are the same and they fit over the front disc brakes fine why wouldn't they fit over the rear? When I bought my RS I swapped wheels with my GS which had rear discs and didn't have any problems.

** Current status: 9 bent valves. and it only had 6,000 miles on it. i hope the replacement goes well. **

Lots of expensive parts, and still slow! Oh wait, it has to run to go fast.

Thanks guys,

One more question. The backing plates on the ebrake assembly are in bad shape. Are they that important that I most have them intact? I assume they just stop break dust. My question is should I be concerned about the backer plates? The ebrake functions perfectly fine.

they're mostly there to stop road debris from getting into your pads and calipers except for the e-brake cable retainer. you can trim them down if you like, just keep in mind you run a higher risk of getting a rock lodged in your pads and grinding away at your rotor. I'd say clean em up and straighten them out and paint the suckers.
