Anybody running Fikse FM5 with a brake upgrade? Please let me know what your running, and how you like it. What modifications you had to do to get them to fit.
I'm interested in getting the Fikse wheels, but want to know how much clearance the classic line offers for bigger brakes.
Thanks!

The spoke design is fairly flat, so a 13" conversion should fit fine.
I have 17" FM'5s with the stock brakes, but I do have 18" Profil 13's with the Vette brake conversion on my red vert.
Plus the Vette brakes fit behind OEM 10 and 5 spokes, so I again see no issues.

I have FM5's with a Baer two piston 13" kit on my Vette. Right now I have SS wheels on the Z with the same kit. If I were to buy them now I'd get four piston calipers unless I could afford six. They're an improvement, but my car is heavy and could use more. At a minimum run agressive pads.
