[Es2] Rear wheel fitment

[Sean cole]

They are OZ mito 3's They are the only 17" wheel I know of that will clear
my BBK which is a 345mm by 32mm rotor off a ML55 AMG mercedes. I'm also
using the ML55 caliper which has the same piston size as a 993 non turbo
(small reds) but I got the entire system for under $150 off ebay.  a 345mm
is a very large rotor for a 17" wheel and since most cast wheels taper
toward the front they either require more spacer then I can possible run or
just don't clear.

Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R's

Reason for such a wide tire is the powerplant of the car is a performance
built 4.2L ABH engine, ported and polished heads, 11.5:1 CR, ABT chip in
3.6L ECU/wiring harness, 19lb mustang injectors, ADJ FPR, twin bosch MS fuel
pumps, all bolted to a TDI 6-speed.  Car will hopefully be complet in the
next few months.
