type 44 wheel sizes? early vs. late?

[TM]

No, not necessarily.

If you check the archives, there is an issue with some of the
15x6 aero wheels not clearing the G60 caliper. However, that is
truly a YMMV issue, IMHO. I had two sets of aero wheels, one from
a 5kt, the other mounted on a G54 equipped 5ktq. Both sets fit fine
even after I upgraded the 5ktq to the G60s.

The UFOs are definitely more a challenge to fit wheels over- esp.
if you're looking for 15 or 16" wheels. I didn't have that problem,
as I looked only for 17" wheels that would clear HP2 brakes from a
S4tt. :-)

It's the UFO's that some folks replaced with Girlings that some wheels
won't fit over isn't it?
