Can't see the caliper clearly but if your old wheels fit and these don't its the casting and offset of rim that's the issue.

Stanza or 200b will increase your track possibly up to 25mm each side. Same effect pushing rim and tyre past guards

Look like early single pistons but I can't tell on that pic.

What specs are the weld wheels ?



The old wheels did not unfortunately fit unless with a spacers and with the spacer sat 20mm outside the guards

The Weld wheels are WE90-55036 (http://www.rocketindustries.com.au/pdf/catalogue/section_22.pdf)

WE90-55036 15x5 - 4x4 4.25/4.5 with 3.5 backspace - But thats probably the issue with negative offset not positive


So i guess the only real option is to change the wheels to a smaller width. Because of the offset being 3.5

That or just Shave down the housing for the caliper so it sits in nice.

They have to be the old style struts.
