    Does anyone know if the R81 Holies will work with an 11.75 Wilwood BBK? Looking to pick up a set to run as my daily wheels but wonder about clearance. I currently run 949 6ul's with a 15mm spacer to clear the brakes just curious if the R81 wheels will fit similarly.

    I do not believe they will fit

    The Holies are a close fit to my stock brakes on my R53. I'd be very surprised if they fit over any big brake kit.

    I'm curious to what the inner diameter is on them, I don't remember how tight my 15's were on the stock brakes. I know that now its pretty much all rotor behind the wheel but still works well. I'm in the process of getting some Holies for daily drivers but they need to be shipped so I won't be able to test fit before hand.

    For anyone that is interested I was able to test fit a holie over my brakes and they do not fit I was able to bolt the wheel on but the caliper prevented the wheel from turning. The inner diameter is to small on the holies

    Thanks for filling us in, sorry they didn't fit. Those Holies are a very nice wheel, you should be able to sell them quite easily.
