Brake Clearance
Can someone tell me if these brakes http://baer.com/baer/templates/img/d033h.pdf will clear some 17X7 inch wheels. 5zigen fn10c's to be exact =) Sorry I'm no brake/rim expert lol.

Rep Power: 423 You're gonna have to do the measurements with the wheels you have. The top of the caliper would be on a 15.44" diameter circle, so what I would do is make a 15.44" cardboard circle and put it between your existing brakes and the wheel and see how close it is to the spokes.

Rep Power: 396 Close as in outward, or like roundness? I guess what your saying is see how close the caliper is to the actual wheel part that the tire sits on, ya?

Rep Power: 423 The spokes have depth. They're not paper thin. They also fold back a little. You need to make sure that the top of the caliper won't hit them.
