Yep, I still run -those- wheels! (Auto-Drags).. since 1986... call me old-fashioned
![Image]()
They're 15x7 (fronts) and 15x8.5 (rears), 'neutral' offset (fronts are, I think 3 & 7/8 or near-abouts... my 'dead-eye' ain't so dead-on anymore).
I have scoured the web, scoured this site (well, until my eyes went all blurry anyway...) and dang if I can find anyone that has tried -this- combo.
Will it fit?.. talking fronts mostly, b/c I can't do all four corners at this time ($$-low).
I saw someone post somewhere that they put the 12" C4's on w/steel rallys?.. but, that's not exactly the same setup, so I gotta ask.
I found a template on Baer's site for a 12" setup (the PBR1 12.0 for 2nd-gen F-cars I think) that I printed out and it -seems- to fit as far as size goes... but!??
The Baer template seems to indicate that the cross-section of this setup has the fattest part of the caliper further to the rear of the wheel.
I made a full-width cardboard template and it does fit inside my wheel, and the bulk of the caliper actually hangs out of the wheel anyway... but since I used a template for the wrong year, will it matter?.. or is it sufficient to know that "A 12-inch rotor setup fits using PBR-style calipers"??
To me, they -LOOK- like the Vette PBR's (tarted up a bit with the 'Baer' logo), but from what I've read here, the jury is still out??
Anyway, if anyone has tried this same setup, please let me know if it works or not before I go spend $$. I'd have a baby chicken if I got all the parts (I'm just going to fab it all up like on the C4-brakes web-site b/c I can't afford the Baer kit) and they didn't fit my wheels.
Thanks,

Oops.. forgot, I'm brand-new to this board, my car: (guess I'll add this to my 'signature')...
'69 Camaro, Hugger Orange, deluxe interior, big-block, th400 + 3.5K stall, 4:11 - 12-bolt... ALL DRUMS! (yikes!!) (nope, car ain't as nice as it sounds on paper :/ )
