Whilst Hoppers Stoppers advertise the setup as being able to fit under 17's I doubt that with many wheel patterns and offsets that would be possible. Check how little clearance there is between my 18's and the caliper - less than 3mm.

And for those who asked, my rear setup is Ralliart calipers and discs. I had Hoppers powder coat the calipers. And I cut the flange off the dust shields so that the discs can vent heat better. And yes, I have braided hoses, clear tube protected and with red ends too . Disc hats are ceramic coated.

they fit under both sets of 17s that I own (Ralliarts and OZ Racing), although the OZ Racing ones will fit Brembos under them. :shock:

Fronts $1700 complete. Very subtle setup. You can dial in brake pressure with your big toe and get just what force you want - not "sudden" in their action at all. Immense stopping power.
