if my memory serves me correct, i think you need wheels that are at least a 16.

1/4 or 1/2 Spacer you need. N/C

N/C = No Comment.

I put 82 toyota Calipers on stock rotors on my 77 and the stock 14" wheels fit fine. No spacers or different wheels.

Porterfield AP-137 pads for toyota calipers

I have Panasport 16" wheels with 245-45-16 Kuhmo Victoracer tires. The wheel wells are maxed out but the Toyota calipers fit perfect. People with Toyota calipers can really maximize stopping power by using Porterfield AP-137 Pads. They make a street pad (AP-137S) or a racing only pad. I ran $25.00 Semi-metallic pads on toyota calipers and they faded to nothing after 5 laps on the racetrack. When doing 120MPH into turn 1 at Thunderhill that is not a good thing!!
