Creig, Barry: I'm confused on this last statement. What wheels are they
that don't clear the calipers? The stock steel wheels -- at least the 4.5"
versions -- should clear any caliper. And I also know that the 3.5"
Herald/earlier Spitfire wheels will clear the Mk.3 and later caliper, as
that is the wheel width Spitfires used until 1970.
Perhaps this is either a non-Triumph caliper or whatever wheels have an
incorrect offset? Barry, any thoughts?
