Those wheels, yes. The double 3-spokes will not fit with 13WL calipers.
Thank you I did read some pages but no luck. How do you like the upgrade. It’s it worth it? I can get the whole kit at amazon for 160.00 everything included.

I love it...I'm really hard on brakes in all my vehicles...I had the crossdrilled stock sized rotors with the ceramic pads that lasted about 2 years or about 14k...so I'm wondering if these will last longer but not sure...I know they grab like crazy as today was the first time in 20 years I had to hit the brakes so hard that I thought I was going to eat a bumper...I got mine on Ebay from seller brakemotive76 they got the setup with powder coated calipers for 300 shipped...I got the black calipers and rotors...no rust issues and they use all new bolts for the rebuild...cross drilled and slotted rotors...I got the taco front braided lines while I was in there too...thing stops on a dime.

Yup same wheels as me. I just purchased all new napa parts and did the swap. I love it. Solid upgrade for $400ish for everything?
Just have to cut the thin metal brake dust shroud. I just used some tin snips if I remember right. whole job only takes an hour or so, super quick if your used to changing pads and rotors.

Seems super cheap to me right from china direct. Id be worried it has issues and would be expensive to return. Keep us updated.
haha just realized they are called Callahan brake parts like the movie Tommy boy!
Ted Nelson: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Might need to trim a little but they should clear.

No need to trim the wheels, but for the 13WL, you will need to trim off parts of the brake dust shields to make the calipers fit. Timmy the Toolman has a very informative video on this. As always, I followed his video and did mine. It was completed with no issues.

I have fn 16x8 with a -20mm offset (3.7” backspacing). Would the 231 fit with that offset?

thats a pretty good price, i bought all of it at advanced auto using coupons and it came out to like 300 for both calipers, rotors, and pads
