I know with cobra brakes you need a spacer to run a 15x3 front runner. But I have some ?????s

What is the true diameter of the stock cobra brakes?
Reason I ask is my BAEARs are f***ing big. 13" rotors,and big ass calipers.

What is the part # for these spacers?

I wanna get some wheels,but don't wanna mess up when ordering. I have looked at the 17" front runners. But the Welds are SFI rated and priced accordingly,like $500 a piece. Thats a little outta budget at the moment.


And before some one says "use the search" I did. Didn't find exact answers.

Thanks in advance.

That's what I am thinking. Not sure I feel safe on spacers. As my car is,it's close to yanking the tires on slicks. I'm about to get some tuning with my new nitrous kit. If the wheels come up,I don't wanna worry about breaking some aluminum spacer.

Very smart, You could make money switching to GT brakes as well. The cobra brakes are worth more and people like doing the swap.

You'll be able to clear the fronts with a 1" spacer... The spacers have their own studs... So you bolt the spacers to the hubs, then the wheel to the spacers... Guys with Cobra's do that instead of swapping to GT brakes or grinding their factory brakes... Bolt on spacers are plenty safe and used in much higher stress situations in offroad applications... So driving straight down the 1/4 mile isn't gonna break anything...

What about landing from a small wheelstand?

What do you think a good price would be to swap stock gt brakes for my BAERS?

They will be fine... Hardcore offroaders use them with 40"+ tires, bashing into rocks... So a small wheelstand is nothing they cant handle...
