... don't assume too much!  The problem is that the spider for the UFO rotor
stamping actually bends out away from the hub/wheel mounting surface as it
goes to the outer periphery.  This is why 16" wheels like the A8 5 spokes
don't work without spacers.  If you are OK with spacers up front I'll bet a
lot of 15" wheels will work ...
