Wheel issues
Ok, so I finally got my big brake kit in from KSPORT and I cannot put them on cuz I can not find any wheels that will clear the massive calliper. I went to a wheel shop and had them test fit a couple of 20'' rims and the " x factor" was not curved enough to go clear without 15mm spacers. I cant have spacers to race in hpd class. Any Ideas or thoughts??

Stop trying to find 20s, go down to 17s or 18s, or if you have to...19s. If you are racing why do you want 20s? You're going to get wheels better geared at people with larger calipers in those sizes rather than 20s. There are plenty of SRTs with BBKs that have 17s and 18s with offsets that clear.

the calipers are huge, 8 piston 13 in rotor. I tried many wheels varrying from 18-20 and I have yet to find something that'll fit.

What exactly do you mean by x-factor? Offset? Backspacing? Or the design of the spokes bowing outwards? I would think something like an SSR comp or a Rota would clear those. A 5 spoke wheel thats spokes jut outward quite far. No one else has this kit yet? E-mail KSport and ask what they recommend I haven't seen anyone with the kit yet, so I'm not sure on that, but StopTech and Willwood I have seen.
How much did the kit run you?

Thats what I figured you meant but I wasn't entirely sure. KSport should be able to help you with what offset you would need to run. Measure the width of those versus the width of the stock calipers. Then use the difference to determine the offset you would need to find. Sounds like even a 30mm won't be enough, which is going to push your wheels WAY out past the wheel well....and that...doesn't look good on these cars at all.
