[urq] Wheel / Brakes

[Brandon Rogers]

Sean-
I can't help with much...but FWIW I will say the Fuchs don't seem to be
generous in the way of space inside for brakes.  They are so close to G60's
that I had to move the weights to the outside of the wheel - which is
unecessary with the 15 x 8 Ronals.  But I guess it's very likely spacers
could help...
