    M135 S and M Build

    Maybe the 2 inch difference is with the M211 rim, the WWII splits I had looked to have very similar backspacing. I think the hub flip and brake drum "spacer"(center) had the most impact.

    Hi Section8, I haven't got that close yet. I am following the Rockwell disc brake tech I have researched on the web. Curious which hub is bigger the Rocks or H110s....That being said if the center hole register is bigger than the hub..it will be lug-centric. My preference would be...
