Question for those who have rear disc brakes.

Did the rear end width change when you added your rotors? I’m looking to buy new wheels that have a very tight tolerance to my inner fenders. I will be adding rear discs later on and I’m wondering if it will change the wheel to fender clearance.

I think mine pushed the wheel out maybe an 1/8 of an inch. It was apart at the time so I don't have a real reference and I'm basing it on the caliper mounting thickness VS the old drum. Hope that helps.

I think the rotors are 1/16" thicker.

Looks like I shouldn't be worried about this at all.
