The rims at the following URL look like they would have enough clearance for disc brake calipers. They didn't answer my email requesting the hub diameter, but a rough measure of scale from the picture looks like about 4.9 inches. If so, a spacer between the hub and the rim about .48" thick with a lip about 1/8" to center the hub would put the center of the tire at the same position as the stock 16.5" steel wheels. At less than $100 each, you could pay a machine shop to make some spacers and still come out way ahead of Alcoas. And steel isn't as brittle as aluminum. Only question, is there enough clearance for stock and/or 80mm cailpers?
