15 and 16" wheel options with small front brakes?

Hey guys,

What exactly is out there for 15 and 16 inch wheels that fit small front brakes and without a spacer (no spacer on the rear either)?

Thanks,
Travis

I'm looking for a set of 15's that will clear the STM small brake kit.

We stock the wheels and tires that we suggest but they will need a spacer in the front to work. I will try to get the setup on our site shortly.

I'm assuming these will be rota slipstreams with M&H slicks?

Yes, And all of our slicks actually match. Every tire will have the same roll out.

What's the weight/price of the spacer? I'm still interested with a spacer, just prefer without if possible.

the spacers are pretty light but you will need to run an extended stud to use it. We use the ARP studs. I am not 100% sure what the weight is as I do not have them here at this time.

Thanks man-I called Brian earlier to check up on a recent order and chatted with him a bit. Like you guys, it's my off season so I'm in no rush, but I'll continue to research this over the winter.

15 x 7 Rota Slipstream +40mm offset are 13.2 lbs each and are pretty cheap and look good IMO. But like EM said do require a spacer and studs. I use ARP studs in the front and 10mm longer extended studs in the back. Spacers are about 1-2 lbs each depending on what type and size you use.
