So, what's the interference issue here? The rims, steering knuckle or balljoint? When I installed 334mm discs and Brembos on my Mercedes, I had to step up to 17" rims...and late model LCAs and steering knuckles. (that's a killer upgrade, btw) I think someone should come up with a low-budget (ha ha) kit that just includes machined 2WD hubs, and caliper brackets (front/rear), so that advanced DIY types can source their own discs and calipers as needed.
