12 Roush Stage 3 Drag Setup Question

I have a quick question if anyone can answer for me. I'm looking for a tire wheel drag setup for my car. Since it has 14" rotors with the Roush package I am going to do the normal 15x10 in the rear but will 17 x4.5's fit with the big rotors or will I need 18" wheels. I've called around and no one seems to know and don't want to get screwed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes the 17" wheels will clear 14" brakes. Most websites that sell them usually will state that is the description.

Depends on if you plan on running them on the street, if your car is an autob your gearing and size of the rear rims. Youve might of mentioned it but youll need sway bar relication brackets if the are 15x10s. Most run drag radials either mickey thompsin or nitto. Depending on your tranny and gears, you dont want to run too tall or short of a tire or you will have to shift towards the end of the 1320.

Ok sounds good. Yah I ordered the relocation bracket I knew I needed that was just having a hard time figuring out if the 17's will clear. I have the wheels now just waiting for car to get out of shop to mount them.
