Hello all question about 14 inch baers

[RR|Suki]

Hey there I just bought a VT and I live in michigan... I believe in driving my car, so I was wondering if I could fit 17s on that size rotor -14inch bear- (I doubt it but I don't have sample rims for the template). Thanks in advance

Are you talking about putting 17' rims on a 14" Baer brake kit. Then the answer is:

Simple answer....No
Detailed answer ....Hell no

:burnout:

You might accomplish that exchange on a 13.1' TCE Performace Wilwood brake kit.

A VT as in Marauder VT? uh.....
WE NEED PICTURES!!! :bows:

I figured I was dreaming, I was actually keeping faith that they weren't 14" but I went to drive her and they were... happy and sad at the same time... and I'll have pics on Thursday or so when I finally get to drive her home, she's gonna be at my dealer tonight and they said they are gonna detail her wed. I have been dreaming of this car since I saw the story on it in motor trend... and I hate motor trend:) . But yeah I'm real excited... just need to find good tires for the colder months :cry:

The VT Marauder has a stroker kit to bring the 4.6L Engine from 281 Cubes to 302 Cubes. IIRC, that is 5.0L of Naturally Aspirated Power.

There are some 18" BFG Winter tires available. You won't find an exact match to our OEM size, but you can run the same size on all four corners.
Someone here had a set for sale last spring.

Now the only problem you have is to find another set of 18" rims to fit.
Or mount them on you OEM rims when winter comes.

Welcome. Enjoy!

Wait a second...Is the the Marauder VT that appeared in Motor Trend? Built by VT Engineering?

http://motortrend.com/features/performance/112_0309_tun/

If so, there is only one Marauder VT. Stroked 4.6 to 5.0, forged internals, Paxton Novi blower, and a lot of other goodies. It also has Budnik 19" wheels, Toyo Proxes tires, the 14" BaerClaw brake kit.

Ummm...If this is your MM, what are you up to?

I'll talk to the guy he might still have the stocks :D

!4 in. BaerClaw brakes? I didn't think you could brakes this size on the front or rear tires.
