Just curious if anyone has successfully fitted a Diamabrush 4-1/2" (115mm) deck and siding wheel:
...to a RAS 115 with the stock dust shroud installed using an arbor adapter (female M14 x 2 to male 5/8 x 11):

The Diamabrush 4-1/2" wheels are sold in parts of the world where the standard arbor thread/pitch for angle grinders is M14 x 2 (in those regions the deck and siding wheel comes with an adapter to allow the use of the 5/8 x 11-threaded wheel to thread onto an M14 x 2 arbor) - the same specs as the RAS 115's arbor - so that's a known quantity.
What's not known is how well the wheel and adapter will mesh with a stock RAS 115. Specifically, will the actual diameter of the wheel fit within the I.D. of the RAS 115's integral dust shroud and, if so, when installed on an arbor adapter (which effectively increases the length of the stock arbor), will it sit shy, flush or proud of the lip of the RAS 115's integral dust shroud/rotatable brush?
The goal here is to know whether I can expect to be able to use my RAS 115 and a 115mm Diamabrush deck and siding wheel (along with an arbor adapter) or whether I need to spring for the universal 5" dust shroud that Diamabrush markets (which fits most standard angle grinders) and fit that and the Diamabrush wheel to a standard 5/8" x 11 arbor'ed angle grinder (in my case, a beat-up hand-me-down DeWalt). I can't see the Diamabrush wheel in person (no one in my area stocks them) so I'll be relying on mail order. Zoro's currently running a 25% off discount with free shipping on orders more than $50 so that will be my go-to source.
