Overview
Baer Brakes part 4262748R is a five-lug rear brake kit that converts Ford 8.8 inch C-clip rear ends with a 2.5 inch axle standoff to 11.65 inch vented disc brakes. Its red powder coated Classic caliper and one-piece rotor replace the original rear drum setup in a drum-to-disc conversion.
Each kit combines a single-piston floating caliper with an integrated park brake and a slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor. The rotor fits some 15 inch wheels and most 16 inch or larger wheels, though fit is not guaranteed on every wheel design. Compare the kit against your wheel with Template V107I.
Key features
- Five-lug hub with 5×4.75 and 5×4.50 bolt patterns
- Single-piston floating Classic caliper with integrated park brake
- Slotted, drilled and zinc plated one-piece vented rotor
- Steel braided hoses carrying DOT approval
- Ceramic friction pads using FMSI D0627
- Red powder coated caliper finish
- Minimum wheel diameter of 15.0 inch
Five-lug wheel considerations
A five-lug hub offers more bolt pattern options than a four-lug setup, but the wheel still has to match the pattern exactly. Mismatched studs or spacers can shift the rotor and affect runout, so confirm the hub before mounting anything. Park brake operation depends on the cables being routed correctly through the rear end.
Vented rotors run hotter during sustained braking, which makes pad choice and fluid condition more important. Ceramic pads produce less dust than many semi-metallic compounds and usually work best with fresh fluid. Keep an eye on the caliper slide pins during service, since sticking pins cause uneven wear.
- Match lug count and bolt pattern before ordering wheels
- Check caliper slide pins during every pad change
- Flush brake fluid on a regular service schedule
- Inspect the park brake cable path after installation

Vehicle fitment
The application is set by the Ford 8.8 inch C-clip axle flange and the 2.5 inch standoff, so check both on the rear end under your vehicle.
Ford housings with a different axle flange are outside this kit’s application. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Compare the five-lug wheel against Template V107I before final assembly. The park brake cables are not in the box, so a separate cable set is needed to operate the integrated park brake.
What’s included
This kit provides the Classic caliper, the one-piece vented rotor, mounting brackets, hardware, braided hoses and fittings.
Not included: Park brake cables.
