I wouldn't do it. There are four different ways people have accomplished this combination of equipment. All of the alternatives are-- in my opinion-- a compromise to one or more components within the braking system or wheel.
They are: 1. file caliper for clearance 2. machine inside of wheel for clearance 3. use a thinner pad and machine the sliding pins 4. use a wheel spacer with longer bolts If you absolutely have to do it, I would use a wheel spacer. That way, you don't have to permanently modify any of the components and you can always reverse the changes if they are not to your satisfaction. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of D.
