    Im in the middle of purchasing some rims and tires for my 01 GTP for track use. The issue I might have is clearence with the 12" brakes. I added the 12" brakes from a olds intrigue. So my question is, do 15" wheels fit with this setup or am I in the same boat as the f-body brakes where I have to run larger wheels. Thanks for any help in avdance.

    I think you have to stay with 16 or bigger.

    What type of "track" use, out of curiosity?

    As for fitment, most 16s should fit, and 17s will definitely fit.
    '05 silver GTP, '98 Cherokee, '78 M880, '70 M35A2

    Drag Racing only. I have a set of skinnies for the rear, weld draglite's but Im concerned with the fitment on the fron for a 15" before I order them. I might just get stock caliper brakets and rotors and swap them the day before racing, pretty easy to do.
