HED Stinger 6 wheels

I'm thinking of buying a pair of HED Stinger 6 wheels.
I am running a SRAM force groupset and have read a few posts where people say that these wheels, because they are slightly wider than others, are not compatible with certain brake calipers.
Has anyone come across this problem,? I have not been able to find much info about it.
Apparently some calipers dont open wide enough to accomodate these wheels.
If this is so, is there any way around it without having to replace brake calipers?
Any help appreciated.

If this was the case - then worst case scenario - you could loosen the brake cable, open the calipers completely, insert the wheel and re-attach the brake cable.
I've read about problems with some HED DISCS and some TT bikes, but nothing about the HED 6 wheels.0 -
thanks pokerface, thats what i thought but those comments i read got me worried0

I would think that if your brakes calipers have a quick release (and yours do) you can open them wide enough to get the wheels in. I have this problem sometimes with my Zipp wheels as they have a 'bulge' in them. You can't slot them straight in, but if you open the calipers you can.0
