What disc brakes are you running? Bscman 13th-July-2007, 12:51 PM I think it pretty much comes down to what brakes, and the design of the wheel. There are 14's out there made to fit disc brakes, but not all of them will. jakew71 13th-July-2007, 03:16 PM corvettes come with disk brakes... am i wrong? if they are corvette rally wheels. unless of course the brakes are much bigger. idk im talking out my ***. Mike Feudo 13th-July-2007, 09:55 PM Corvettes all used 15 in wheels. If you are using GM brakes you can use 14in ralley wheels made for them. acadiansrus 14th-July-2007, 12:49 AM i have 14x7s i dont think they were from a disc brake car,ordered the 2"drop spinals have not ordered any brake parts yet asking q first Philip 15th-July-2007, 01:06 AM Like said before if using GM brake calipers a 14" disc brake wheel will clear. The 4th gen Novas had bigger brakes than the 68- 74 models and they all had 14" wheels from the factory. The inside of the rim needs to be flat all the way to the center to fit with disc brakes. The photo is of a 15" wheel but the 14" will need to look the same to fit. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/64elcamino/discwheel.jpg acadiansrus 15th-July-2007, 10:34 PM ty the pic says it all thanks again;:o shawn 2 black ragtops 15th-July-2007, 11:05 PM hi iam installing disc brakes up front on my 63 wagon ,i have a nice set of 14s on it now .the kit says up grade to 15s is there anyother way around this wheel up siqe up grade ty; shawn hey shawn, 14" wheels will clear cpp disc conversion(if that's what you have).i used wheels from an s10 p/u that were meant to clear discs.works fine on the ragtop. carl. acadiansrus 18th-July-2007, 09:50 PM tryed on a ccp disc kit from mennos on the wheels no problem just clear ,so theres hope lol;shawn | |
