The caliper is only part of he reason smaller wheels won't fit. The shape of the rotor itself won't allow the caliper to be moved in.

Hmm. Do you absolutely need those giant rotors? Won't those brackets work with smaller discs?

14 inch rotors are the smallest you can use but 15 inch baers work the best

The original bracket was made by JYD to work with a different 14" rotor but left a lot of the brake pad overhanging the rotor being unused. Ray, aka supersub changed the design to make it stronger and work with a Baer 15" rotor for the front and a 14" rotor for the rear. But Ray only made a few sets. With his permission, I cleaned up his design a little bit and now make them. There have been some that have made the JYD bracket work with the 15" front rotor but they had to grind their caliper to clear the rotor if I remember correctly.
