I just recieved the complete front disc brake kit from Classic Parts of America for my '65 C-10. The rotors I recieved are 11" in diameter. Will a 15" wheel fit upon them without bumping the calipers? Also, how much will my offset change from the stock drum brake set up? Thanks for any and all help!
I need to add that the conversion is going to take me from 6 to 5 lug and I am maintaining the stock height.
I'm not positive about the Classic Parts kit. Other's kits, like one I used, push out the front tread width by about 1/2 inch per side. I used old school 15 inch chrome reverse rims on the front. It was tight, but they did fit. Finally, your wheel backspacing should not be an issue. There is a ton of room under the front fenders. DVal
Okay, thanks. The kit actually came from CPP, and I just ordered them through CPA. The only reason I'm worried about back spacing is because I don't want the tires to stick out past the fenders, because that looks stupid. Currently, I'm running Eagle Racing 589s that are 15" x 10" wide and 3-1/4" backspacing, and tires that stand 27" tall and have 12" tread. They go right to the edge of the fenders.
D Valintine Is Right, I Put On A 12 Inch Rotor And Had To Change My Steel Wheels To A 16 Inch But I Was Putting On An Old Style Solid Steel Wheel "gennie" So You Shouldnt Have Any Problems With Just A 11 Inch Rotor. 66 Kustom
Just FYI - I called CPP. My rotors will push my wheels out one inch. My wheels, I discovered, are not 15x10, but 15x8. Tires are 275/60R15s. I am going to go with the same wheels, but only in a 15x7, and I will get 255/70R15 tires. Little more height but a tad more narrow so as not to bump the fender. Thanks for your help guys! Let you know how it turns out!
