Mesh wheels do NOT clear Z brakes, unless they're some crazy Work wheel design.

Wut your worried bout is whether the brakes will clear INSIDE the rim not only whether the face will rub the side of the brakes. Meshies in general have a tendency to rub the face. But with this 15s, its pretty iffy.

I had 17" formula mesh and they cleared my z-brakes fine. It depends on the height of the hub pad. I realize those aren't SSR's, but I just don't want people to think that all mesh wheels don't clear.
