Just curious. Is there a reason a 15" FIA style wheel would have better clearance for the brakes than a 15" kidney bean style wheel? It would seem the inside diameter would be the same, but I have not compared the two side by side.

15" Kidneys may not fit some of the bigger brakes of todays replicas. I don't think Phil sold a lot of them, for that reason. I have a set of 17" Kidneys, for that reason. 16" tire selection was really limited at the time I bought them, may still be.

the 427 and fia wheels are std. front mount, tire mounts from the front side. The kidney bean/ our sebring are reverse mount in the wider sizes 7" and wider have limited brake clearance, 11" rotor, when made in 15". 16" clears most 12" brakes.
