someone please sticky this

tiburon GT calipers + 2004 sonata w/ ABS rotrs + stock 15" ALLOYS (ie: gt wheels) = DOES FIT

i took my snow tires out of storage today and over to my dads and decided to try to put them on just to find out...they DO fit. maybe the tib rotors redrilled is what was causing them to not fit, but the combo i just mentioned is what im running and the wheels turned with no problems or rubbing. there was maybe 2mm between the caliper and the wheel, about as much as i had w/ my OZs

:bowdown:

See Video Of BBK Spinning With Stock GT Wheel

and just to add, these are on my car now, and im rollin on nicks stock steelies, and have no issues with it.

Re: tib BBK + alloys

tried to get some while i was there, but it turns out my dad gave the old camera to my mom (lives somewhere else) and the camera his ex-gf got for him for his b-day a few weeks ago wanted it back and he already gave it to her


dont trust me? why would i make up a thread about a lie?

Re: tib BBK + alloys

sorry felix. lol

i was in the same boat as everyone thinking they wouldnt fit, but knowing myself, i had to check it on my own. i was happy to see they fit

as for pics, ill be happy to post some in a couple months when it starts snowing and i put them on again

Re: tib BBK + alloys

update. we slapped on one of james' GT wheels at the meet, everyone saw they fit, got pics + video that they fit...ill try to get them off my camera tonight

Re: tib BBK + alloys

Yeah, it was REALLY tight, but it worked no problem.

about as tight as it was w/ my OZs

 

[evan938]

thats all i remember too...steelies fitting, GT dont

hell, if i could get my hands on some steelies before this brake kit is gone, ill test it too

 

[evan938]

its the bracket that fits tight, not the caliper...the bracket doesnt move...its just mounted and the pads slide thru it

 

[evan938]

well, im using 2004 sonata w/ ABS rotors, not redrilled tib rotors. maybe thats why

 

[evan938]

in theory, that would help...it would mean the wheel is pushed that much further out, clearing more

 

[evan938]

or dont worry about it, use the parts ive shown to fit, and be done with it

 

[evan938]

shouldnt be...the wheel is bolted on to the whole assembly, so when one moves, it all moves

 

[evan938]

regular GT calipers...mine are red, but its because i painted thm

 

[evan938]

i think the only ones that are a little bigger are the aluminum tib calipers...if aluminum = se, yes...and yes, GK GT > XD calipers

 

[evan938]

video proof in original post!

 

[evan938]

im pretty sure i posted video evidence that it fit, and everyone at the meet saw it as well...and this was with someone elses GT wheel, so you know i didnt modify the wheel in any way

 

[evan938]

what. the. ****.? its the same parts. do you think because its a year later they wont fit? get the parts listed above and you'll be fine.

is this a serious question?
