RE: Changing Tire-Wheelset Size issues

it appears I have roughly 3/4 - 1 inch clearance b/t the rim and the caliper bracket ... IF it rubs I think a little grindage on the caliper mount bracket will take care of that .... thanks for bringing that up !

RE: Changing Tire-Wheelset Size issues

To put a stock caliper on a 17" by 5.5" rim...I had to grind the caliper AND lathe the disc smaller....REAL PAIN...! Narrower is easier...
