will a deep dish rim prevent the upgrade of stock brakes to a big brake kit?

that's what I mean ... won't the deep lip reduce the distance b/w the caliper & the inside edge of the wheel?Originally posted by bert

deep dish on a FWD? You don't see those too often 
To answer your question - yes, it's likely that a deep dish setup will not work with a big brake upgrade because the spokes will not allow for enough clearance over the caliper unless you go with longer will studs and add spacers.

But if you looking at something with 2" or 3" lip, it won't fit.

I wouldn't consider 1" 'deep dish' Originally posted by 1MAX2NV

5+ inches is what the deep dish wheels have.
