does anyone else find that when running v6 front brake conversion, the front wheels are pushed out? im running 7x16" et42 wheels and they are level with the front arches and sometimes catch. the old 7x15" et45 wheels where the same altho they didnt catch.

could it be because of the brakes that the wheels sit out so far?

its the width/offset of the wheel.

the brake disc 9bit that bolts onto the hub) isnt any thicker than other brakes.
