Wheels-Tires NVX wheel fitment problem

[apaul3715]

How much did you have to remove from the ats calipers to clear the nvx wheels? We just did the saleen sve 18x9/10 wheels and 13" rotor/Ats calipers on my son's 85. Everything fit really good with those wheels. I'm thinking about the nvx wheels for my 88

Thanks!

I had to take off a good amount (and it still only clears by millimeters) but not enough that I have any worries about the integrity of them.

If you do the NVX wheels for your 88 don't do the ATS setup stay with the cobra calipers

I machined the calipers on the 85 so I didn't have to use any spacers like what the S&S kit comes with. If you had to guess, did you take off a 1/16th, 1/8th, or more off the calipers? I already have all the ATS stuff for the 88 and I can always order the Saleen wheels for it...but I'm kinda hung up on those NVX wheels. I have a machine shop, so manipulating a couple mm here and there on the calipers or spindles is not a big deal. But if you thinks it's too much of a pain to deal with I'll stick with your advice. Thanks for getting back to me!

Oh with a machine shop it would be easy. I'd say I took off 3/16” towards the middle of the caliper and maybe 1/16" at the outer part of the arch.

I lightened the picture up as much as I could to try to see the clearance

Awesome. Thanks for the picture. I went ahead and ordered the Saleen wheels considering I know it will all work with the ATS setup. Nice looking ride btw. Here's the 85 we just finished up.
