Think about it.

The front rotor is 12.6 inches. Add another inch to the diameter for the caliper giving you 13.6 inches. That leaves you only 1.4 inches between the edge of the caliper to the outer edge of the wheel.

alright, well I found some 16 inch cobra rims pretty cheap. I may just go with those, my stock rims are 18s or I would just put them on those.
