    got my nrg wheels today, stuck the back one on and its goes in fine except for hitting the rear caliper so im going to look for a thinner caliper that will still work on my engine, or i may have to find somewhere that can machine it down so it fits under the wheel

    wheel on

    where its hitting off the caliper

    wheel spacer maybe, then have shiny modify a standard subframe to move the bike the same amount to the left to compensate like?

    think moving the caliper/machining /using smaller one os a better idea imo

    yeah the back wheel is 13"

    and nrg is 12" i think hence wont fit

    hence people only put front ones on dec

    nowt wrong with the wheel nibbs its just the paint chips off putting tyre on

    was bored again lol so decided to have a go at grinding the caliper a little and bit of the wheel, if it went wrong id only lost a wheel and a caliper afterall

    anyway did abit on the caliper then shaped some littel cuts into the wheel and it finally sits over the caliper nicely ;) i know the wheel wont be as strong as it used to be but i havnt taken that much off and the bike wont get ridden hard everyday anyway so it should be ok , if not ill just put runner wheel back on

    [​IMG]

    i need to clean up the grinds on the wheel and cal then there both going down to be painted with the front wheel tomorrow

    make sure u have the wheel balanced and the area youve made thinner on te caliper aint were fluid is dunno how much pressure they have in em but if its loads could jus pop out the side lol other than that will be fine i think

    coz it was meant to be realy hard . minor sed hes got his own way of doin it but wont say how so god knows if this is the suggested way but it clearly worked even if a bit unpro lol no offence mek sure you get weel balanced n im assuming you took the metal off all the spokes lol not 1
