(I brought it from the original owner with only 55,000 miles on the clock.) When I upgraded to factory front disc brakes, the OE wheels would not clear the calipers. Luckily, I had a set of 15" steel wheels left over from a '70 Monte Carlo. Problem solved. brickyardboy 10th-February-2007, 06:08 PM My disc brake kit from SSB allowed me to use my 14" wheels...barely. Ed's68 10th-February-2007, 06:15 PM My disk kit needed 15" rims. Take a look or ask when you get your kit.

I did have to tap the caliper bracket tabs with a hammer slightly though. You should have no problem, easy fit. I am running Cragar drag lite wheels.
