These (pic) Wheels & 12" Brakes

[Leviathan]

The 15" aluminum wheels shown in this link:

...are 84/85 Turbo Regal wheels. Has anyone tried them with 12" brakes?

If not, does anyone know the measurements needed for the 12" conversion

Thanks!

Unfortunatly I'm unable to give firsthand experience with the wheels pictured. They do look awsome.
I have 2 85 GN wheels which fit the 12" Baer sport brakes - no problem at all - BUT my 87 TR wheels will NOT fit without a small spacer. The 85 GN wheels have 3 3/4" backspace & the 87 T wheels have 3 5/8" backspace.

Thanks Roger. I measured a 4" backspace, and a 13 5/8 caliper radius. If it fit with a 3 3/4 then I should be OK...

I got the Baer Conversion kit for my Firebird, and I had 16" rims on it, 12's had plenty of room, I wanted the 13" brakes but I would have rubbed. If you have access to a FAX machine, Baer will fax you templates to cut out to check on your 15" rims. It was Free when I did it.

hope that helps...
