i want to get the Wilwood BBK, but am worried about wheel fitment. I dont want to get 3 piece wheels.(cant afford them) Does anyone know of some 24" 1 piece wheels that will fit over the kit?

your best bet is to get the brakes installed and then head down to your local wheel shop and get some wheels test fitted for clearance.

You should not have any issues with 1-piece cast wheels. There are two other people on here running 1pc wheels with the Wilwood kit.

On another note, how can you swing $5000 worth of brakes and not run a 3pc wheel? LOL...

Do you think it will fit with a 24" wheel?

If you get the 6 piston yes, 8 piston I'm not sure. Check out Wilwoods website for info or email them.

I don't think wilwood makes an 8 piston. They will fit 20" and up.

$10-12k for 24" 3pc wheels is absurd. You can find them for alot less. :)
