I finally finished getting the hub I want mounted, now I need to order a rim. I'd like to go with a 19x2.5 or even 19x2.75, but I'm worried it may rub the inside of the swinger where it narrows. I obviously don't want to buy a rim and spokes, lace it up, and then find out it won't fit...

Hey guys, new to this forum, but I've been reading it constantly since I decided to finally do an XS project. I'm searching for rear wheel options. I've decided for sure to do a 19/19 build, but I am going back and forth between the stock mags (front on the rear) or to lace up some wheels...
