yeah thats what everyone always told me too. thats why i was so suprised when they fit. i felt bad for the dude who wanted my wheels b/c he drove 2 hours and i didnt think they were gonna fit. shoot a PM to megacrazy. he has all the measurements of the caliper and will be able to tell you how they compare to the akebonos

+1 on the Wilwoods being a smaller profile BBK than other manufacturers. I have a Wilwood BBK they are definitely smaller than Stoptech, Brembo (non-OEM), Rotora, etc.
