r32 gts 297mm discs and calipers fit inside a 16" rim with the correct offset , so i guess with that large offset spacer {nice for the wheel-bearings , which are weak as it is } i guess that would fit too .

After looking at the picture i would say that you would have a hard time getting that approved for road use . For one two mounts plus lots of little shims make for a nightmate installation . Basically you shim the caliper up correctly for the alignment , then go driving for a while till say the pads bed in , come back reshim it again because its all settled now Mad Then there no locking tabs for any mounting bolts which might be required due to the large amount of spacers . The lines do not have the correct adr marked line material , so i guess there out of the question too .

It also go to note the small pad to disc contact area , most modern braking system have the pad area maximized to increase the friction co-effiectent of the pad . That caliper pictured doesn't have a very large area compared to allot of simple ae86 brake conversions . Also there no note of piston sizing so how do you work out if its a mechanical advantage over most upgrades as well ? Now does that caliper hit the caster arm if a large rca isn't installed ? i would say its going to be close , and if you have modified you car for more steering lock you are going to be in trouble .

Now if you check the listing from wilwood the cailper is for : "ideal for Late Models, Modifieds, Sprints, Road Racers and Dragsters. " so it should pull up a light car easy , especially with such a small tyre contact area . So back to the piston size again , does the set up require a assisted ie : booster or is it for a complete race master cylinder conversion .

When you look at pricing , well a ap caliper {direct bolt on}with a brembo disc to fit inside a s13/s14/s15 16" rims was last time i checked $1600 aud , and race brakes had a kit in stock ready to go . Add to this a huge list of pad compounds and parts stock availability in this country you would have to question why you would need to import such a produce here . Unless you need the bling factor , theres lots of great brake packages here already for not really that much $$ for the performance if you need brake that powerful anyway .
