Looking to see what size rims (steels for drag tires) you can run with a big brake setup. Also, what for sizes are you FWD guys running for radials/slicks?
Thanks

I wouldn't say FWD guys do not run big brakes, I was giving you feedback as to what your options might be. The biggest factor is not so much the rotor size (to a point), but what type of caliper you run...
A floating caliper only has pistons on one side (inner), thus a thinner caliper from the center-out and it "floats" on the caliper pins. A fixed rotor has pistons on both sides and need a way for the "source" to get to the outside pistons which makes the caliper thicker from the center-out.
