Avantéix

i'm in the process of upgrading to B5S4 calipers on the Avant, and i was wondering if any of you guys have had clearance problems with the Flik Justice...

as you can see in the pics, after installing the caliper and the pads, there isn't enough clearance btw the caliper and the spokes of the rim... spacers are needed here...

now i wasn't really worried about clearance being an issue since the folks over at EdgeRacing had told me the Flik Justice would fit on a B5S4, i had told them what i was planning on doing as far as my brake upgrade was concerned...

so could it be that the Flik Justice rims fit a B5S4 w/ stock brakes, but not a B6A4 w/ B5S4 calipers?

mine are 17", but another AWer w/ 19" is running in the same problems...

thus putting the calipers in a different location than on a B5S4. They look pretty close to the hub in that pic, which would be the case if running smaller rotors. Or even if the rotor surface had a different "offset" than a B5S4 rotor

BTW, those are 18"

Mark, I think Avanteix is trying to run 17s

aside from the obvious diameter :P

I don't remember the details though.

I wonder if new pads make a difference?

I'm the other guy running B5 S4 calipers/rotors/pads on Flik Justice 19's.

That's a tight fit over stoptechs.

Axial clearance is &lt;4mm, but they fit.
