Just finished the install to find my Veilside Andrews V dont clear the caliper even with 20mm of spacer.
Does anyone know what wheels will fit for certain?
I am going to have to buy some new wheels and want to make sure they fit before ordering.
Thanks in advance,
Catto

I understand that a wheel with a concave face clears better than a flat face, just looking for some knowledge insurance before i buy.

No you are going to want convex spoke shape, not concave.

I can take some quick measurements when I get home.
Its just a couple very important dimensions you really need from the wheel.

-Distance from center of hub to the highest face point on the caliper (radius)
-Distance from the face of the rotor (where the wheel mounts) to the highest outer face on the caliper. (how far the caliper sits out from the rotor hat face)

Take those measurements and apply them to the wheel, if there is sufficient clearance it should be ok to not hit the spokes of the wheel.
