A six pot caliper is probably overkill. Most are designed for larger diameter rotors, so the pads will have a different size and outer radius. On these very large pads, there can be some benefit to a 6-pot caliper as the clamping pressure will be more evenly distributed over the large surface area of the pad.Originally Posted by davegt27
anyone know the biggest brake setup that will fit in some 13" rims
I just saw a 6 pot caliper setup on yahoo Japan
man this would be so much over kill its not funny
but very cool and makes you wonder
price for the kit is like $1400 but of course its for another car

I have fitted a 10.5" diameter racing rotor under a 13" wheel before. Opel however, homologated a 10.75" rotor for the old Group 2 Ascona-A rally cars, and for the Group 4 Conrero GT's. I suspect very few 13" wheels will clear those rotors, and the calipers must be carefully chosen as well.
Another rotor I've adapted was a 10.25" Chrysler rotor from a 1984 Omni Turbo. It required a custom spacer and some machining, but I was able to offset the rotor enough to clear most 13" wheels, even some of the steel ones.
