Re: oh no not another wheel question :)

Sorry but I have forgotten the original post that mentioned the fatter calipers, I was just replying to the backspace-offset issue.   Back to the original question then, have you actually on hand calipers fatter than your original that will not fit in a particular rim???   I am asking because judging from past experience, it is usually the design of the rim and the diameter that dictates the size of the disk/caliper combo you may install. Only problem I had with this issue was the caliper needing a judicious "filing" of its top side so it would fit in a 15" rim.   Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Little To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 1:42 PM Subject: Re: oh no not another wheel question :) cheers Chris, that is great. So the bigger the backspace the thicker, fatter the calipers can be? thanx for that   Chris Pronios <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   |         .         | |         .         | |\        .         | |  \      .         | |    \    .         | |     |   .         | |     | B.    C   | |     |   .         | |     |   .         | |    /    .         | |  /      .         | |/        .         | |         .         | |        A         |     A = overall rim width B = Offset B+C = backspace. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
