Wheel Design
Wheel Design
(OP)
I am looking for help and seeing if someone can point me in the right direction.
When designing wheels, an important aspect is spoke clearance for brake caliper profiles. I am having a difficult time securing brake profiles to design wheels around. Besides measuring each vehicle the old fashioned way, if there a body of data somewhere I can reference?

Do they do that now? I don't know, but I suspect they either work with their wheel suppliers on obtaining such information from them, or measure it themselves and share that with their wheel suppliers.

Another alternative would be to cut a full scale verification model from your 3D wheel model and do a fit up, like at a dealership - will probably cost you to do such a thing.
You might stumble across some 3rd parties by doing a Google search for "wheel fitment" or "brake caliper clearance".....
