Bear rotors???
Any one using 13.35" BAER rotors on the front with non stock wheels? If so any issues????? I am going to pull the trigger and was wondering if they will fit my CCW wheels.
Love to see some pics if you have them.
Thanks
Fred

I don't think so. The stock rotors are 12.75" and the above rotors he is talking about is 13.35".
This is what Baer told me directly when I asked if Baer kit PN 2301053 has the 13.35" rotors with the brackets to move the calipers outward. I had already told him that I have 19" wheels in the front now.
Baer said in reply:
You are correct ! The 2301053 would be the correct number for your Corvette. These will not fit the factory wheel but looks like you have that handled.

I should have pictures by Monday of how the 13.35" rotors look behind my Front 19" CCW SP500's....
I was told that no modification is needed with the 19" CCW's and the 13.35" up front. Guess I'll find out soon.
I would think that a 18" or 19" CCW up front would have no issues with the 13.35" Baer rotors.
The rear 14" needed some massaging to work with the 3" lip CCW's

I have the Baer EradiSpeed 2-piece front and 1-piece rear rotors installed on my 2004. The stock 5-spoke rim fit over with no modifications as well as the Ace Slick Hyperblack rim. I would like to move into a set of CCWs 505As and am curious as well whther they will fit over these rotors without spacers or adjustments.

That was fast delivery on your rotors. I e-mail them and have not heard back. I am looking forward to seeing yours completed. I have been following you on the rears and expect no problem once i grind down the rear calipers. I have CCW 505As 19" all around.
Thanks
Fred
