That doesn't quite make sense given what I am experiencing on the fender side.

Its been a long time but I could have sworn when I bought the brakes that it was .25" wider per side, hence the reason I went with 6.25 BS. (That and Frank at prodigy telling me i needed 6.5")

I can always take out some BS with a spacer if that is the case. sounds like a re-hoop is eventually in my future either way.

Have you measured the actual backspace and width on your wheels?

Agreed! measure!! don't assume, I know Vince at meanstreets custom ordered a pair of Forgelines and they wouldn't fit...so he measured and found they sent the wrong offset, not saying that's the problem.....but here again....PLEASE measure your own gear folks NEW or NOT. its just a tape measure(not a special tool), it makes you smarter knowing the truth about your gear,
