I have a set lying around that I am not going to use. Let me know if you want them. These are for an 88
It is the brackets and bolts for the 12" conversion front and rear. All you need is rotors.

$200

Do you know if these fit behind stock wheels?

I believe they will. Not 100% sure though. They use stock calipers so at most you may need to smooth down the outside along the wheel. Can't say for sure because I never mounted them.

No I don't think this will fit behind stock wheels.

As far as I know, the biggest brakes you can squeeze behind stock lace wheels would be the Lebaron/caddy 11.26" setup.

Anything bigger would need 16" or larger wheels to allow caliper clearance.

Yep, I had to upgrade my wheels when I switched over to the Vette 12" rotors. Good luck with the sale

i have the 12 inch break upgrade it will not fit behind stock wheels you will need at least 17inch rims,also the adapters for the calipers are only for 88 will not work on any other model car you can use stock 88 calipers,you will need the centrific rings for the rotors and slight mod to front lower A arm (has to be ground down a bit as so the front roter dont hit easy mod ) great upgrade i love it and looks good too ....

They fit behind 16's just fine... been running a set since 2005.

Totty, do you have any pictures of the brackets. Curious what style they are - rotated ( calipers rotated up/down) or straight out (bracket is more rectangular shaped).

Wow, I thought these would go pretty quick... I thought the price was better than WC Fiero's $380+ brackets.

The WCF 1988 Fiero bracket kit for the 12" vette rotors is $215.60 on their website (p/n BK12/1288MH). The price you quoted is for the kit to use the Corvette calipers, not to reuse the 88 fiero calipers.
