Message	I have a set of Blitz Type03's coming to me and the rear are the 18X10, but the front are 17X9. It has dawned upon me that this may pose a problem with the 13" cobra brakes I fabbed for my car. I went out and checked the clearance between the caliper and the inner lip of the 18" Momo Sports, and there is almost a full inch of space between the caliper and the wheel. Since these are cast wheels and are rather thick, I'm figuring that I will likely have about the same clearance with the Blitz wheels as they are 3 piece and the wheel itself (not the center 'spoke' section) is likely to be less bulky. Does anyone have a closeup picture of the front wheels with stock calipers, or perhaps even with a big brake kit of sorts installed? I'm hoping I haven't just killed my 13" brake setup with these new wheels. :-/ Thanks!
