excellent question and here's a follow-on:

Same problem I had with a 55 first series - I wanted to run stock steel wheels but all disk brake kits would result in interference. Disk kit dealers all said a spacer (I forget the size, but it was slim) would resolve the problem.

Does that hold true for 60-66? In other words - for those that have run into this problem, exactly where does the interference with the caliper occur for stock steelies? (a diameter or depth/offset issue?)

Thanks,
jocko
