Im looking to get some new wheels for my car. I have drum brakes in front on my car now. If I buy new wheels now and decide to convert over to disc brakes would the backspacing be off? I don't really want to be buying two sets of rims just because I convert to disc brakes.

Discs will push your wheels out 9/16 per side If you are not going to wild with the wheels you should have no problems.


BUt if you want to do something realy neet and are planning to run bigger wheels than 16s you can use your spindles and hubs to run 13 vette rotors pretty cheap
