1965 Valiant front wheels

Thanks for the reply. Yes I know all of that. That's why I want to know what size steel wheel people are using with there 73+ disc brakes on a 65 Valiant. I want to make sure the large bolt steelies I get will clear the fenders when turning. I have a 8.25 I'm putting in the rear when I do the front disc brake conversion. Thanks Jayson

when you put on 73+ disk brakes on an early A body (your 65), the old rim will not fit for 2 reasons.

1) the bolt pattern of the new brake rotor is 5x4.5", your old rim is 5x4".
2) the 13" stock rim will not clear the calipers either.

You will need a large bolt pattern rim for up front on your Dart. 14" stock steelies will work, but tires are harder to find. 15" are a better choice, but may look weird if paired with your 13" stock Dart rear wheels.
