nah - I don't have the wheels yet. I purchased some steel wheels from Sumitt for fitting.

Minilite stocks a 10" 5 x 4.75 X 4.75 BS for GM applications. We have been working around that and it looks pretty good, but may need to space some. We are going to refit the rear to check shock length so we will mount a tire and mockup wheel location with the steelies while we are in there.

Identifying and fitting calipers has been a project to itself and we have struggled to get wheel dimensions from Minlite as they are not published.

There is a risk the parts will not allow the wheel to be properly placed for wheel to caliper clearance and tire to body clearance. I found a dimensional work sheet at Panasport last night so I will print, fill out, and send to Minlite. I intend to talk to Panasport also.

Still have my eyes on a set of magnesium copies once we get it all fit and tested.

Getting the caliper mounted is a big step forward.
