CCW 505a question
I have 19" ccw's all around right now but like the look of a smaller diameter wheel up front, I also have the willwood big brake kit. My question is does anyone know if the 18" 505's would fit up front with these calipers? I have no closeups of the front wheel at this time but thought someone might have experience with this. Thanks

My recommendation - give John at CCW a call and discuss with him. I'd bet he can give you an answer.

i have ccw sp 500s 19 x 11 up front and 19 x 13 out back with the wilwood big brake kit 14 in rotors with 6 piston calipers and my front wheels clear by a hair. I dont know about the 505a but it wouldnt work on mine if i put an 18 up front. Dont know if that helped but im bored at work.

guess i'll look to sell the fronts and order new ones, not in a super rush the 19's look good as well but i prefer the 18's overall.
