Also, do you want to run the original style steel wheels/hubcaps, or are you looking for something different? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 | Its 6 lugs.I was going to get new wheels and tires,so it does'nt matter. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 | This thread may prove helpful. Post #4 shows the area that normally causes interference between the disc brake caliper and the backside of the stock rim. Sometimes the interference is so minor, a small amount of grinding on the caliper can solve the problem, or a 1/8” or ¼” spacer between the wheel and the rotor may also solve the problem. If this is a desirable option, you just need to make sure the studs are long enough to provide full engagement with the lug nuts. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=430426&highlight=disc+brake+wheels | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 | Thanks for the help.The posts were a great help! | | |
