I would really love to see how they do that - the OEM rim is quite constrictive and the steering arm is mounted OUTBOARD of the spindle. I tried for an afternoon with an Olds rim and could not do it with the large stock of rotors/calipers we have. Our solution is to use a 72-mid 90's 1/2 ton rim as the wheel cover dimension is the same.
Hi, thank you for dropping by. I'm sure there would be a large interest in fitting stock rims: what do you think it would take, designing a more inward spindle arm so that a more inward or slightly smaller rotor/caliper could fit, cheating a bit with a rim spacer, ... ? do you know how much extra lateral spacing is needed with stock or kelsey wire rims for your kit as is?
