Yup. Racing Brake. I actually took that pic to show how much clearance there is between the caliper and the wheel. These could fit over some pretty massive calipers.

Hey Broda, I was searching for this exact wheel set up and came across this. You mentioned that your fenders are rolled, did you get that done because of this set up, or was it done before hand? I've read that you don't need to roll your fenders unless you go any bigger than this, but from what you said it sounds like it's a must. Just wanted to check, and creating a new post would be redundant. Looks amazing, I can't wait to have the same setup!

I had my fender lips rolled before I ever tried this setup, so I can't say for sure if they would rub with unmodified fenders. Clearance also depends a lot on ride height, and I am relatively low. If I had to guess, I'd say you could probably pull this combo off at stock ride height without any issues - maybe even a slight drop - but you will need a fender roll for an aggressive drop. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer Broda, that does help. Sounds like what other people were saying was correct provided you have stock suspension. Thanks again!
