   yea ive tryed them without tyres,and there catching on the front calipers, my only other worry i have is that the rim is allready sticking out the arch a little bit, will i be able to get round this with stretched tyres

   stretched tyres will be fine
   
   are they catching the caliper on the back of the spokes or the rim?

   erm back of the spokes mate, i can bolt the wheel up tightish,but when i tried to spin the rim i could here it catchin the caliper, i think ill try a 10mm spacer first then, see if i can get away with that
