Yeah, I figured it was a used set. I certainly wouldn't buy a new 14" BBK and shave it off to make it clear 17" rims. Even after shaving it, it still looks tight in there but looks good though.

Wow! Those are 17" rims!? Man, I wished you were closer so I can test fit my Kosei K1 TS 17X9 autocross rims on your MR 14" BBK!

Do you know if the Megan caliper is smaller than the stoptech?
Thanks.

You would just have to find the specs. Most companies have the clearance info posted somewhere. I had the Megan specs, just dont know where they are, maybe WA2GOOD has them laying around. I do remember they are close to Racing brakes 355 6 piston kit.
