I was wondering if minisports 10x6 minator rim would fit over a vented metro turbo 8.4" brake caliper.

I know it will not fit directly over them, but would they fit with a spacer?
If so does anyone know how big a spacer would be required?

without modifying the metro caliper, I'd expect the spacer would need to be huge, to the point where the wheel is sitting beside the caliper - the metro calipers are big

not a lot of people in Aus run metro brakes, so try asking on UK forums like turbominis etc.

Pretty sure youd need to get the caliper to mount closer to the hub by machining the mountings and the disc.
To run them without modification youd need to put the inside of the rim almost out of the rim to push it out. Which is messy.
Ive got a set of metro vented calipers coming over so im going to try them with 10 x 5s, but not expecting too much.
