Grigg, you hit the nail on the head. This is unventured into territory for me. I can fix cars, but I'm finding that adapting them is a whole other ballgame.
I'm working off the premise that to put disc brakes on my truck (building a bracket to hold the caliper and therefore use the original axle) it would be best if I had larger wheels. I currently have 16" on my truck as does whitedog's truck. I also do not like the look of the 16"'s.
Based on a previous thread, I need 19.5" wheels because you said that with your setup, you had about 1/2" clearance. I plan on doing this conversion in the future, but I don't want to put money into something (new 16" tires) that I know I will toss. Also it seems that the 8R19.5's are scarce and expensive. I know the 20"'s are much wider at 10" compared to 6" but it looks like I have room in the wheel well for that. Biggest concern is whether this assumption is correct or am I overlooking something. Is there anything I should be concerned with putting 10" wide wheels with a 4.5" backspacing on my truck. Guess that should of been my question to begin with. Thanks
