It sucks that you had to find out the hard/expensive way that those wheels don't fit with that brake kit, but sometimes that's just how it goes.

for the most part, those 13" brakes DO clear 17" rims. Gen 1 and 2 Vipers have 13" brakes and came from the factory with 17" wheels, and there are a multitude of aftermarket wheels out there that clear the stock viper brakes.
