Rise of the Turd-burban

[Tonyrodz]

The rims offered in trade are 17’s. I’m not sure about the tires… they’re probably maypops, like the ones in the turd now. I had a set of all terrain take-offs lined up, for my 20’s, from a dude at work.

I taint never had 20’s, I also taint never had wheels that ugly! But dern, they was free, and I had newish tires lined up. I’m going to mull this over some more. Let the mulling continue!

If you do decide to swap, if your brakes are already mounted--mount those 17's on and take it for a ride around the block with lots of turns and dips. If they're 17's they SHOULD be ok.

Those calipers are the K2x I believe, not the NNBS. If they are, there is a big write up on fitting wheels on them. Most of the NBS and NNBS wheels won’t fit, and the calipers will require grinding regardless iirc. @Nooj what calipers are those?

These are the 2020 4 piston T1 calipers. I’ve been scrolling through one of the loooong swap threads to see which stockers will fit. The search continues.

Holy brake setup Batman! Them things are ginormous!

That’s what she said! “She” being my girlfriend, when I showed her the difference.

“She” also said that if she were managing this project, she’d just grind the calipers so my current wheels will fit. I may have to follow the boss lady’s advice.

That’s what I thought. I know there was a caliper being shipped from member to member to test wheel fitting. Seems you have to grind the raised areas on the calipers and then they fit with some of the stock wheels but possibly with a 1/4” spacer, even after the grinding. I don’t think there’s a way to find out if a wheel fits without trying it. That’s the reason for that 60+ page thread on the subject.

Dammit--wrong again. Sorry @Nooj.

The lady in the house allows you to use the word "taint"? Well, maybe she is hard of hearing.

Well, that was sorta easy. I just took the ol 60 grit flapper wheel to the caliper ridge and knocked off about .11” then cleaned it up with a 220 grit rolock on the angle grinder; And that gave me enough clearance for the big ugly 20’s to fit without rubbing. Still close- but they fit! Crisis averted!

We whole heartedly welcome words like taint, moist, and fiduciary.
