        Why did they not fit? Would a small spacer make them fit?

            Curious about euro weaves as well.

                The design of the wheel, it curves inward near where the caliper wants to be. I'm guessing it would take a 15mm spacer to MAYBE work.

                    Sucks. So the inner barrel of the wheel hits? Cause the template looked like it cleared the spokes easily.

                        Spokes are no issue, the inner barrel curves up behind the spokes.

                            Is there a reason why D-Force's haven't been brought up?

                                    D-Forces are a bit narrow at 7". Ideally I'd like something that's 8" wide which is why I was hoping the TRM wheels would fit. Damnit this is annoying.

                                    I found some vintage Hayashi Racing 16" mesh wheels that are lightweight. I'm hoping they will fit over the BBK.

                                            Interesting thread. I happen to be a person that owns a UUC Big Brake Kit.

                                            subbed....

                                            I have some of the 15x8 TRM wheels on the way to me right now, I'll report back this coming week with fitment info.

                                            time to check on these Dforce wheels.

                                            I'm currently running Rota Slipstreams at 16x8 Over the UUC BBK
