I think the one in the classifieds is front kit only (his truck has drums out back), and they are huge 16" rotors so I'm a little skeptical if they would actualy fit behind factory 20's, although the seller says they will.
Badass kit regardless, and I like them grey better than red.

Wilwood truck kits 16" and 14.25" fronts and 14.25" rears are still available. The 13" rear kits are the only ones that are going to be "Obsolete". From what I hear, there's also a special for those brake kits coming soon...

I have 16" rotors behind stock SSS rims and they fit just fine. Don't know what kinda stock rims you have but unless they are something weird they should fit just fine.

Well that's good to hear. I just have tahoe LTZ's, and baer 14" brakes, and although I've never measured clearance, I know I have to be more careful putting the wheels on over them. Just imagined 1 more inch on the edges and 6piston would take up a lot more room, but apparantly I was wrong!

More details, as in, how did u hear of this special coming soon? PM me or whatever. The when, where, how much? I might be interested in some 16" Wilwoods if I go w/. bigger rims, otherwise it'll be Baer but still on upsized rims, tho not as large as needed for the monster Wilwood rotors.
