Which is precisely why in the first email I sent, (hmmm, did the 20V
list see that one?  It's been added to the fray at some point) I said
that somebody needs to get a caliper, a rotor and a wheel and dry fit
them to see if we should even bother progressing any further down this
road.

I've only seen the calipers in question, once, from a distance, they
seemed to fit under a 16" with ease, and if they're compatible with a
smaller rotor, they could be made to fit under a 15" wheel.

All just preliminary research at this point.
