12" wheels on 180 struts towers? Is it possible, does anyone know if a standard 120y rotor will fit on either a 200 or 180b strut or how to make it fit? Or does anyone know if there is a way to make 12" steel rims fit on 200B/180B calipers. I'm transfering a ca18 turbo into a stock looking 120y and want to keep it as stock looking as possible, was hoping to keep the metal hub caps on.

didnt you already ask me this?
no 12s wont fit, and with a CA it would be kinda unwise to have brakes that do fit under 12s
with stock 180b brakes you can fit 13s, and might be able to also fit 13s over 200b brakes
but once again, when going fast stopping is usually an important thing

haha yeah, I drove my commodore for 1 day and it was gay so I wrecked it.

Do what I've done, 13" alloys with some old-school hubcaps, sure they arent 120y hubbies but most people wont know that, and you can fit decent brakes under them.

Dont knock 12" rims

I really wanted to keep my 12" rims for the 1k but brakes are the killer so i have to goto 14" to fit the brakes in.

If I could keep them, i would. I love the little donut sized wheels, but then I am not planning the motor of that size, so even if you could, it might not be the best choice anyways.
