coys wheels with hd brakes

I have the HD brakes 1 1/4" rotors on my '79 and would like to run coys wheels but I know some wheels (maybe most) dont fit correctly over the rotors center hub. anyone know for sure if they'll work?

They fit. The center cap needs to be spaced out slightly or it will contact the wheel bearing cover. Some guys put a spacer behind the wheel while others opt to make a spacer just for the center cap.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The ones I had were about .125". Perhaps Coy's corrected the cap depth issue since it sounds like Cochino didn't have issues.

Re: coys wheels with hd brakes

OK thanks for the help guys, this has been a big worry of mine. I thought about changing over to the 1" rotors setup but really prefer to stay with the heavier brakes.
