Spokes, not Offset is the issue
#1
I had been under the impression that the offset of the wheel was the key issue when it came to going with a big brake setup. I found out too late that this is not the case. I bought my wheels with an offset of 43. Nice wheels and I love the look. I am now looking to do the brakes but can't get them to fit due to them hitting the inside of the spokes. The spokes are set back too far, which gives the wheel a nice looking lip but it will not accept a big brake caliper. Just thought somebody else might need this pointing out before making the wheel decision. I wish I would have known before.
