Default Wheels, and caliper clearance....

Looks like your question has been answered, but I thought you might like to hear it direct from the horse's mouth.

We ask what type of brakes you are running, and also the part number (if an aftermarket kit) so that when we are building your wheels they first, clear the caliper that you have chosen to run. We do this by building the "pad" on the backside of the wheel to different lengths. When we do this, it allows the spokes of the wheels to come around and not bang into your calipers if they petrude past the mounting surface of your wheel. Being that calipers can be bought, even from the same company, in all different sizes, this information is very important when building a wheel. Secondly, it also tell us the overall diameter of your rotor and caliper when assembled. This allows us to confirm that the inside diameter of the wheel, will clear your overall diameter of your brakes. Being that you purchased Baer brakes, Baer provides, with every kit they sell, a cooresonding "template" number. You can even get this information direct from their website. The templates, which we keep on file here in my office, tell us all the above pieces of information so we build your wheels correctly.

I hope this answers your questions, should you have any further questions, feel free to email us at anytime.

Thank you for choosing Budnik Wheels too!
