What's up with the title of this thread man? You're making it sound as if there's something wrong with Gazi's calipers and you haven't even bought them yet

more details please...

Diameter of the rim doesnt matter, its your offset and spoke design.

Then you're going to have to get different rims or use stock brakes...unfortunately.

Why dont you find someone local with LS brakes to test fit your wheels? Maybe you can use some spacers

You said earlier that you need .75" MORE for clearance right? Do the math

if the brakes are hitting the side of the wheel then you need to wheels or use stock brakes
