      Probably not would be my guess. The C5/C6 brake rotors push the caliper out pretty far and need a lot of room between the mounting pad of the wheel and the spokes to clear. The really expensive (Forgeline, HRE, Fikse, etc.) wheels seem to be the only ones that work. That's why I still have all my stuff in boxes.

      I wish I would have known that there were no "affordable" wheels to clear the brakes without resorting to spacers. I'm not sure I would have bought the ATS spindles had I done my homework. Great product, just lots of other costs involved to get it all working. My fault for not getting everything planned out up front....

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Thats my problem right now. Im trying to find a wheel that will work with that spindle and brake set up. Im really hoping they will work for me because they arent that much. I cant afford ccw, or forgeline, or fikse.

      How do I go about getting templates?

      thanks

      All of our wheel styles will clear C5 brakes. It takes an 18" rim to clear them with a rolled lip. We can clear them with 17" in a stepped lip, but we suggest going to an 18" to get the extra room for air flow. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.

      Have you thought about using the C4 HD rotors?? They'll give you about .400" more caliper/spoke clearance than the C5 rotors would.

      Just a thought...

      The wheel manufacturers should have ones available online or can be faxed by the CS or tech reps.
