Will earlier 16" rims fit over GTS calipers?
I've been considering going back to a more period correct rim style on my S3 when not at the track, but I am running GTS front brakes that are even a bit taller due to the adapter kit.
Anybody put stock 16" rims (Dish or Phone Dial) with Big Brakes up front? How was the clearance?

My 16" phone dials fit over the S4 brakes on my 79.

Here's a pic of my 18s over GTS calipers. No way a 16 would clear. If you want something that looks period correct but clears the GTS calipers, check out thec3-piece phone dials that Jim Doerr at 928 Classics is making.

7x16 phones will not fit early S4 front brakes but might fit late calipers. In any case they are very close. Too close for factorys liking. That's probably why phone dials were dropped as an option in mid eighties.
