If I can't find the guy that offered to buy them, I'll get back to you. They're a brand new, never installed set I have that I can't use because all my cars have 13" wheels.

You can use that 14" kit with 13" wheels. The only difference between the 13" and 14" kits are the 14" kit uses the 257mm rotors instead of the 227mm rotors, and has spacer bushings to extend the caliper out further from the mounting bracket.

To use the 14" kit with 13" wheels, all you need to do is install the caliper mounting bracket with the existing 227mm rotors and mount the brake caliper to the bracket without the spacer bushings.

well, i don't think that is 100% true, Matt. Jim Fierst did some heavy research in this area, and discovered that there are issues with some rims and the 14" kit, especially stock steel rims.

check with Jon Logan at Midwest 124 to see which rims will / won't work with the Series 1 or Series 2 14" kits (yes, there is a difference between Series 1 & 2)..
