Does anybody know if this BBK fits under the stock 08 FXT Sport wheels?
All I can find is that they require 17" wheels but nothing on the width.
And I can't find a template like some kits have :(

I answered my own question tonight when I mounted my stock 17x7 XT Sport wheel over my buddies 6-piston Wilwood BBK

The missing metal that used to be on the outside of the caliper mounting holes. They are at the 9 o'clock and 12 o';clock positions in pic 1
