WOW, 12" front rotors w/five on 5.5" bolt pattern. No wonder Leno went with 15" rims. Ain't no way a 14" wheel will possibly fit over a 12" rotor.
(We have a hard time finding 14" wheels to fit our 11" rotors on a Squarebird.)
The only thing I don't like about the car's engineering is the rear axles w/tapered roller bearings. Both sides must be centered AND the original rear drums come out of alignment by themselves. Not good.Member, Sons of the American Revolution
