CCW Purner Drag Weels or Rims

[Dimitrios]

intrested to know if the CCW rear drag wheels will fit a ABS rear brake caliper with no problems. heard that i might need some bracket or something like that for rear rims to fit. anyone know?

If you are wanting to put 17" rims on the rear, then yes, you do need to make a change for them to clear. You will have to get new rear brake lines with shorter banjo fittings, the stock ones are very tall. Even after doing this, you will need to check clearances closely. We needed to grind the bolt head down even more to clear 96 17x13" rims we were using for racing on our 02 GTS. They sell a kit, do a search to find out where to get it, I forget where ours is from.

so u are saying the purners wont just fit the rear of an ABS car....im just concerned about rear and not fronts.

Most drag Purners will be 16". Not sure about the ABS, but if there is a problem.....it must not be to bad because tons of ABS cars run the Purner set up. Did you call and ask Purner ?

from experience on my friends car, you need to grind the rear caliper to fit the 16" wheel.

rear calipers have to have the banjo bolt fitting remachined, there are a few people who can do this, nothing major but will have to send them the calipers

any machine shop should be able to machine the caliper down a 1/4 inch. get the stoptech stainless brake line also. it sits lower than the stock banjo bolt.
