I am already using the Dexstar 16" wheels on my truck. Does anyone happen to know which of the conversion kits will clear these wheels? Sid Drapal's kit states "you may very well need a disc style wheel". Any advice appreciated.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

I think with wheel back spacing information you may be able to at least ask the disk brake conversion source if their kit would work. | | |
