For this to be a viable option for me, I'd have to be able to fit the wheels I'm running ('15-'19 Esky Platinum 22's). Since wheel fitment is such an issue, I'm trying to figure out how to get past the need to buy and install parts and check my wheels directly.

Anyone with some drawing skills want to take careful measurements of a mounted caliper relative to the hub flange and draw up a template? That would let anyone check their wheels without much trouble.

I would do it if I had a caliper...but then I wouldn't need to, lol.

Oh man, I am terrible at artistry, what exact wheels are they? Can you post a pic? I might be able to find enough info comparing my LTZ20s to yours to know if they would fit.

So using a site that sells OEM replicas this is the data I've found for your wheels and mine.

My ltz20s have 31mm of offset and yours have 24mm however, my wheels and 8.5" and yours are 9". So maybe someone smart will chime in and tell you if they will fit better than mine did or not Esky 22.jpg ltz20.jpg

I think the spoke design has more to do with whether the caliper will clear than anything. That's why I advocated making a template that outlines the cross-section of the caliper relative to the wheel hub. This could be held against the back of any wheel to check clearance.

If someone makes an outline and can get it onto an 11X17 PDF it would be shareable...
