Would 20mm make my rears rub or will they be fine with my 285 rears?

Most likely not, try a wheel specialty place, or theres tons of people who sell them online.

Captain Sam's-a-hoe is in the house!


I think the 15mm spacer with the 295 should work. 20mm on a 295, start rolling some fenders. 20mm on a 285, I think its possible. If worse comes to worse, roll or shave fenders. Its only paint and metal.

As far as the wheel locks, I think it will be a tough search finding some 40+mm long lug bolt locks.

There's my .02 cents.

So 15mm on 285 it is
