    Wheel Fitment Question (13.0" with Alcon Type-B Calipers) and 17x9 Halibrands

    Trying to figure out some wheel information. For those of you running the FFR 17x9 Halibrand wheels, what (if any) spacers are you able to run on the front of the Type65 and fit under the fenderwell. I'm assuming a 275/40-17 tire.

    I have some Type-B Alcon 4-piston calipers that I'm trying to fit and did a loose test fit with a set of pin-drive Halibrand wheels and looks like I need another 1/2" of spacer per side.
    Ultimately, I need a wheel with 1.25" of spacing from the hub/wheel mating surface to the inside of the wheel spoke.
    I hope this makes sense. I'm trying like crazy to keep these brakes and make them work.

    Can anyone with the wheel stud version (not pin drive) of the Halibrand 17x9's give me a measurement from the wheel/rotor hat mounting face to the spoke approx 6" out from the center of the wheel. That should be almost to the inside barrel of the wheel.

    I did some measurments, Alcon B-type calipers, the difference is, disc dia 14in (350mm), wheels, Factory Five Halibrand 9x18, Et24. Spacer thickness 20mm.
    There is more space inside my wheels, and i have larger discs.20230327_140327.jpg20230327_141009.jpg20230327_141551.jpg20230327_141328.jpg20230327_141213.jpg
