Found another suspension setup and I can't use these brakes in the build. I used them for about 100 miles before ripping apart the truck. Been sitting in my garage ever since last year.
these are the rear brakes
Here is the info of TCE page:

Complimenting the Plus 3 front kit the Plus 2 Rear kit offers massive performance and good looks while retaining the stock parking brake! Fit with near 15" rotors with radial mount four pot calipers your truck is assured ample torque while retaining proper brake bias.

Wilwood BSL4r calipers
TCE spec radial mount brackets

14.8 x 1.30" directional cast rotors

Gas slotted and zinc plated

Iron rotor hats
Modified oem backing plates
Wilwood BP10 pads
Stainless teel hose kit

Optional cross drilled rotor finish

looking for $1,700 shipping included. pm if interested

Someone buy these from him and I'll set you up with a matching 16" front kit for a $250 savings. Thus helping everyone come out a winner!

I'd use them if I could Todd, but the IRS can't use them but at least they come with the identical brakes.

a rim diameter of 15"? If that is the case I think you need a diameter of at least 20". No one has tried the 18" rims yet.

I am interested if I can use my stock 18" wheels
I checked Todd's site and it does not say.
Were you running 20s with these?

Stock 18s should not be a problem at all. The rear caliper (shown) is probably flush at best with the surface of the hat when the caliper is in place upon the rotor.

If Todd says the 18" shouldn't be a problem then I would believe him. That was never an issue for me since I was running 22". Let me know if your interested.

I agree,
Todd is the man!
I have been running his 13" fronts for a couple years now.
PM on the way.

I need to jump back in here and correct something.

I looked at this as being the 13" rear kits, not the 14.75ish rotor. With that in mind I don't think you'll be able to do this. Not what you wanted to hear I know...From first look I was under the impression that we were viewing the fronts and rears but we are not. I'm not real comfortable with mixing this with a 13" front kit either.

14.75 is going to be real tight inside a 18" wheel. Normally I'd say the max is about 14.5" but that's going to depend upon the radius. Put a caliper onto the rotor and measure the radius first.

-not 'the man' today.

Todd,
I understand.
I am as concerened about the bias as much as the fitment issue.
Little concerened about messing up theway they work.

I calculate the radius to be about 8.125 or a diameter of 16.25" needed inside the wheel.

The bigger rotor and piston area will undoubtedly push some bias to the rear. The counter to that would be a lower friction pad (BP10) or elevate the front to bring it back around. Without a pad change it puts the numbers at about 57% front. That's pretty low. A prop valve could help also.

Thanks Todd.
With the weight front to rear on these trucks so far off anyway added to the bias.
I would think I would be swaping ends pretty easily.

I guess this may not have worked out.

I have this size kit on my truck. I will try and put on a 18" wheel today or tomorrow (Or whenever Mike can bring a 18" by the house). Pics to follow if it clears....

Scott,
How are you doing?
I measured mine without taking them off so it is not exact but it looks very close.
I would appreciate you checking for me.
