I'm currently changing to 80mm calipers, after a catastrophic hub/knuckle failure.
Test fitted the 80mm caliper and installed the 16" Steel Rim this morning. The final answer;
"It's fits."
You do have to grind the nub down on the caliper, as someone else posted, and trial fit the caliper. I had to remove a very little bit of the caliper or hub (less than 1/16") in one spot to allow the 80mm caliper to seat against the hub.
There is plenty of clearance between the rim and the body of the caliper.

Now, back out in the 80+ Summer Heat.
