my memory isn't that good.. i thought he came across a set of 15's he's always wanted, and changed since then.

but i found the post that i was thinking of, and you're right, he never went smaller than 16"

The only small thing that I’ve found to be an issue with 16’s and brake clearance happens with the rears on dirt ( which are not AP).
There can often be stones caught between the calliper and wheel, which can cause gouging in both... ( on STI “gold” Brembo rears).
Obviously a function of a number of factors, and not just wheel or brake size.
But, I also don’t run the rear brake “guards” and it’s the price you pay for gravel highs!

We no longer offer that item. We decided to discontinue it after the last production run. Sorry!

Only about a week until the deals are gone gents (sale ends 12/2). Grab yourself the gift that will keep on giving throughout next year's track season.
