the max rotor size you can use is about 13" with a 17" wheel.

Baer uses a variation on the Corvette brake caliper - made by PBR - so that should be close to a constant.

Ya, I know what your saying, im just concerned in ordering them and then they dont fit. but i think they will fit because i just found this article...

In this article they have the AFS wheels with a 14" Baer 6-piston caliper, the ones im after at 13" rotors with 2-piston caliper, seems like im good to go. what do you think?

it sounds like you should be ok.

If you are still concerned, I would contact Baer directly.

you may want to investigate other calipers, too... as I said, the Baer calipers are the same as Corvette calipers... it might be cheaper to get, say, GS calipers.... just a thought.
