[s-cars] OEM 16" wheels and big brakes

[Lee Levitt]

And I'm running a set of 2.7t 5 spoke wheels with BIRA System 3. I've got a
single mm of clearance *with* 5 mm spacers. Been running this way all winter
with no problems...but I *have* worried about potholes and such. One good
hit that puts a wobble in the wheel will bring me to an immediate stop!
