Precision Brakes Kit

Will it fit stock 17 inch wheels on a 2k2? I saw a few posts and places that say min of 17 inch wheel required, but not sure if the offset is enough etc? I have a feeling with my rotors already being warped without me driving as hard on them as I usually do, time for big brakes...

If you get in touch with them they can send you the template to see if they fit instead of wasting money if they don't.. but as far as I can remember they had clearance issues on 2000/2001 17" rims, and these aren't much different (except for more spokes, same offset/etc.).

You may need to get some spacers in the least...

Depends which kit & how u configure it.
If you go with the 13" one-piece rotor it wont fit regardless of caliper unless u install spacers, this because of the offset of the rotor -the depth of the 'hat' if you will- is such that it forces the caliper to be installed more 'outboard' than in could be with a two-piece rotor.

If you go with the .81" thick two-piece rotor and the smaller Dynalite caliper it will fit but if u go with the Superlite caliper it wont.

If you go with the thick 1.25" two-piece rotors and the Superlite calipers (as I have) they will most definitely NOT fit (you'll need about 5mm spacers) plus you will have to trim the edge of the lower control arm a bit -about .125 inches to get the right clearance between the A-arm and the rotor.

Galo is right. It will depend on the kit you get. I have the 12.75x1.2 inch 1pc rotor w/. Superlite 4piston Calipers and those don't fit the stock 17inch 2k1 SE rims.
