If i go the 6 lug i will not have to replace my chrome reverse wheels. I am using a 15" 6 lug wheel now. Will the wheel work or do they need to be 16" with this kit.That is my main concern. I have read the various posts and just want some feedback.
Thanks

The 15" and 16" stock wheels will not work with the disk conversions without using a spacer. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 | Go to parts for sale. I have a 6-lug disc brake set up for sale.

The stock wheels off the Trans Am fit on my front conversion Disk Brake Kit I bought from Jim Carters. I did not need the spacer in my applacation. Worked out well for me. Good luck!
