 |
|
I've read some Old posts where people have got these to work without spacers. Is anyone currently running wide 5 zero offset ercos in the front with disc brakes on a link pin front end? If so which disc setup are you running? I'm hoping to have drop spindles as well without spacers. Is this possible?
Thanks |

| OK, lets try this......evidently CMS is working on Zero offsets for the front that will clear all disc brakes, anyone know anything about this? |

What else you got going on in the front? Drop spindles, narrowed?, adjusters,etc? I like your stance I'm trying to figure out what route I want to go in the front right now |

Of course they come out after I buy a set of Ercos, the Hell with it I'm gonna put drop spindles on and run drums up front seeing how nobody in the whole world is running ercos with disc brakes and can tell me which disc kit fits.
Someday I'll upgrade and probably get these rims, I'd love to see a pic of them on a car. |

I'm running ERCOs and Airkewld front disc. I chose to run spacers rather than modify calipers, etc. The caliper had basically no clearance and the brake pad retaining pin interference was at least .25".
