I prefer the 605 gone and run 18" 245's. I'm 402'd a half-inch or so.

df, you can fit 370mm brakes under your winter 17's. with all your mods, guess at hp?

The 370's fill the 18's to the brim. Wheel weights had to be moved to clear the calipers. Wide 18's make crummy snow tires, but I really wanted the giant brakes. Yes, it's unnecessary and silly.

The calipers are held to the bracket with 2 radially-oriented bolts, with varying bolt and spacer length for different rotor sizes. Since changing rotor size is so easy, I rationalized that a second set of rotors was cheaper than a new set of snow wheels. Case closed.

The 332's fit under the snow wheels, of course.

As for powah, I'll get it back on a dyno in the next month or two. GIAC S-chip (old program) and cat-back exhaust gave 240 at the wheels on a local Dynojet. I'll post the results, for sure. I'm hoping for a number that starts with a 3 when using race gas, and high 2's on 94 octane.
