Best send Ian a pm for a definate answer,but I personably think that you should not have any problems.as long as there 17" wheels as that is the size that the Godspeed big brake conversion is designed to fit under.SJ.

Not all 17" wheels will fit, I bought some 17" BK wheels which didn't under my Godspeed conversion (unless I went for spacers).

Are the wheels nearby so you can try?

It's most proberly the spoke design I know some spoke designs of certain wheels seem to have less room for fitting bigger disc and calipers.SJ.
