Wheel Brake Caliper Clearance Diagram - A, B & C Radius Measurement Blueprint

Dimensioned cross-section drawing of a wheel rim showing A, B and C radius callouts

This document is a blueprint-style cross-section drawing of a wheel used to illustrate brake caliper clearance. The drawing shows the wheel's rim and center section in cutaway, with a stepped shaded template representing the space a brake caliper occupies behind the wheel face. Three dimensions are called out: "A", a vertical height measured near the wheel's mounting face; "B" RADIUS, measured horizontally from the wheel centerline to the inner step of the clearance profile; and "C" RADIUS, measured from the centerline to the outer step of the profile. The drawing contains no numeric values, tolerances, part numbers, or vehicle/year identification — it serves as a reference diagram defining where the A, B, and C caliper-clearance measurements are taken on a wheel cross-section. Readers can learn how wheel-to-caliper clearance is specified using these three dimensions, which is useful when checking whether a given wheel will clear larger brake calipers (such as during a brake upgrade). The actual clearance values would need to come from an accompanying specification table or by measuring the wheel and caliper in question; this page only defines the measurement locations.

Frequently asked questions

What does this diagram show?
A cross-section blueprint of a wheel illustrating brake caliper clearance, with three labeled dimensions: "A", "B" RADIUS, and "C" RADIUS.
Where are the B and C radius measurements taken?
Both are measured horizontally from the wheel centerline: "B" RADIUS to the inner step of the caliper clearance profile and "C" RADIUS to the outer step.
What is dimension "A" in the drawing?
"A" is a vertical height dimension measured near the wheel's inboard mounting face area of the caliper clearance profile.
Does the diagram give actual clearance values?
No. The drawing only labels the measurement locations (A, B radius, C radius); no numeric values are shown.
