Default Help with my Eradispeed +2s

First qustion: how in the hell do i make to rotors look halfway decent since the pad only rides on half the rotor.



Also I am taking the caliper brackets off to paint them but discovered that unlike the front the front the rears have an allen head bolt any guesses what size allen wrench I need, it is larger then anything I have in the toolbox, so I am goingto have go buy one I'd like to try to avoind having to buy an entire inventory of huge allen wrenches trying to figure it out.



And final question: will any 18" wheels fit over these rotors? I'd like to be able to run drag radials eventually and the existing 19's won't cut it for that.

I hate to tell you this but those rotors are the old style Baers. They have now made the hats larger so you do not have this problem. As far as the size of Allen bolt I do not recall but I strongly recommend getting a 3/4 rachet.

I had the same rear rotor as you. I painted the whole hat and rotor ring up to the fire path in glossy black....it looked good.

Not ANY 18 will fit in the back. I had to get rid of my +2 and get the stock sized 1 piece rotor to fit my CCW
