I want to fit one of the Disc brake conversion kits (like the CPP one) that have 12" disc rotors.Has anyone fitted this disc conversion with these wheels, did the discs/calipers clear the the rims OK?
Thanks in anticipation

I used the CPP kit on my '54 GMC and the 15" wheels from my '83 Jimmy fit without clearance problems on the disc. 15" stock rims will not. 16" stock rims will with just a little filing on edges.
