Generally it's the other way around. When you have big brakes you have to confirm caliper clearance with offset, and concave. With smaller brakes OP shouldn't have an issue unless there is something about the shape of the 2.0 front calipers I'm missing.I remember asking about switching to 19" some months ago and someone advised just to make sure there would be no issues because of the smaller brakes.
Since it was hard for me to find a shop that would guarantee fitment when purchasing a bigger wheel, I opted for another set of 18".
Just passing the info along. I guess that's the only thing you should get confirmation on before pulling the trigger, otherwise I don't see why not.
Wondered how long it would take..........LOLSwap the whole engine too while you’re at it.
And the 3.0 brakes too.Swap the whole engine too while you’re at it.
I'd imagine you'd just need to clear the caliper on the bigger 3.0 brakes. Probably the biggest liability. People run 18's and even 17's on their 3.0's no problem so i'm sure you'll be ok.How much of a liability is it to use 2.0 wheels on a 3.0? I know the wheel/tire widths were determined for specific power outputs, but just curious.
Thanks. I think people usually run at least stock width or wider. In this case, we're going narrower with the oem 2.0 wheels. Potentially less grip, but will this be much of an issue? Can anyone confirm if the 2.0 wheels will fit over the 3.0 brakes?I'd imagine you'd just need to clear the caliper on the bigger 3.0 brakes. Probably the biggest liability.
