Be certain to secure the lines on the front brakes, one fellow here ( or a couple now that I think about it for a moment) did the over the tire lineand ended up ripping the lines out of the calipers quite violently.  They were not running a fender and did not secure the lines.  You don't have that setup but it is still a good idea to secure the lines so they will not hit the wheel at any time.
