Message	As I noted, the 8.5" wheels have a different hub and front spoke design. You can see the front spokes are curved a bit which allows room for the caliper. I'm running them in the front with the EVO VIII Brembos and there is plenty of space, no spacer required. Probably a half inch of clearance in every direction. If you're talking rear brakes, thats a different story. _______ AKA JohnnySombrero
