If the wheel weights are centered over the caliper, they will rub a bit.
Not sure if it matters, but this is a 79 spindle with the stock mounts cut off and new mounts for these calipers welded on.

That's great you got them to work.
When I converted the '78 to S4 brakes (using the purchased aluminum adapters) I discovered that the phone dials then didn't fit. Man was I bummed!

The problem with a 16" wheel that is much wider is tire size. There isn't much (if any) performance tire to fit a 9x16 or larger. In fact, there isn't really anything for my wheels either, which is why I'm not using them.

I forget. Maybe the internal diameter? I had repainted them a nice silver/bronze. LOVED them, I was sooo bummed when they wouldn't fit. They still had nice sticky Yoko's on them, too.
I remember that the flat-dish 16's off the cannibalized euro interfered with the face of the S4 front calipers, also. Front spacers would've fixed that, but I just went to 17's.

Thanks man. I got the wheels free from from a guy that went in a different direction. They were pretty well scuffed up. I stripped and prepped them myself and then when I couldn't get the paint to come out the way I wanted, I took them to a local paint shop.
I really like the way they came out and I get a lot of compliments on them.
