I had these wheels made a few years ago using the M37 center. I have a Helitool disc brake kit. I had to see if the wheels would clear the caliper. Here are some pics.

Where did you have them made? Did you supply the centers?

Stockton wheel made them- years ago- before they reorganized. I did supply the wheels for the centers. I was talking to Marsh Racing about a set, but I hear the owner died and they are closed.

Hello, will these wheels clear the old drums? I think I have to go to 17 inch to clear the drums, but not sure. I just contacted Stockton wheels, they told me if I send my old wheels or centers that the turn around time to have wheels made would be about 4 weeks. Price would be $205 a wheel. I may use discs just in the front and drums in the back so I don't know if the 16 inch would work with the drums. Appreciate any info.

Actually if you choose to go with 20" rims, the selection of tires is much greater. I will try to put one of the wheels on a drum and see how it fits (16").

Did you ever try the stockton wheel to see if it would fit over the stock brake drum?

Sorry, forgot I was supposed to do that. Tried it this morning and it fits fine.
