mvigo 'Bolter M Joined: Apr 2023 Posts: 46 SF Bay Area	I will be converting front brakes to discs, from what I have researched, it seems the Rustic kit is the most liked for an 8 lugger: https://www.rusticdiscbrakes.com/product-page/single-wheel-front-hub-front-disc-brake-kit Is there a better kit out there these days? I also know I need to go to 16x6" wheels, which I am fine with, but which ones that will fit my original dog dish caps that came with the truck? Based on all y'all I plan on going with a 215/85/16 tire. I am welcome to any and all ideas, this is the 1st time for me attempting to do a frame off restomod. I have enjoyed researching here on stovebolt but know I have a long ways to go to completion. 1953 GMC 3/4-ton, deluxe cab, long bed "My biggest project" Follow the story in the DITY
