No. 17" minimum. And keep in mind your spare will not fit, you will need to do a double change rear to front.
TYVM. Reading through this thread, minimum wheel size was not mentioned before that I saw. I will have to wait to upgrade till I come across some 17s or 18s then. I kinda need this upgrade since I do a lot of mountain driving.

Has anyone found a place to buy the baer eradiSpeed +1 rotors for the rear? I can't find them anywhere. Ir does anyone know of a larger diameter rotor for the rear? I dont care if it uses stock calipers with brackets in just looking for bigger rotors to fill the wheels.

Specifically these.

Or does anyone know of larger rotors for the rear that aren't $700+

so i have a 2006 YXLD, what are my options for a brake upgrade? I cant get a straight answer on what fits and works well, aside from SS lines.
thanks,

The easiest (and most cost effective) upgrade is to bolt on front calipers, brackets, and rotors from an 08-13. Leave the rear alone, they are already bigger than the newer trucks. You will need at least 17" wheels to clear.

True dat! Don't forget to get a spare that'll fit too.

you'd think the spare on a 2006 YXLD would match the the other 17" wheels, but i feel the need to double check.
