No, but I've honestly never paid that much attention to it. It sounds like Donnie ' s 32 is that way, I don't think it would be problem other than you'll have to buy wheels and mini tub it. I would get another housing and axles myself. If you decide to stick with what you have I would take the springs off of the shocks and articulate the rear suspension to make sure the calipers don't interfere with the frame or anything else.

I had a suspicion that was the case.

You could argue that it might be better for cooling for the rotors to be exposed, although on the rears that's not as much of a benefit. But then you have the potential for rocks and road trash to get lodged in there with them not being protected by the wheel. That would eliminate any potential benefit in my opinion.

I agree with Tim, I think you are headed for a new housing. That sucks, and I hope your vendor accepts some responsibility for this if you asked for the WMS to be the same as what you already had.

Good luck!
