Yes, that’s my first option but Cass at DoctorDiff is not sure they will clear the caliper he has supplied. He is going to verify that.

Thank you!

I have located (4) Wheel Vintiques 61 Series Chrysler Rallye Silver Wheels 61-565404. These are 15x6, 5x4 BP, 4.0 BS. Can anyone tell be what aftermarket trim rings fit this wheel without trimming? Most I have seen are specifically for 15x6.5/15x7 wheels and require trimming. Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can get used 14x5.5 5x4 factory Rallye wheels? The 15x6 5x4 wheels are all on backorder.

I was in error on the caliper brackets. These were included in the kilt and used. I installed these months ago ands simply forgot. Cass responded and said that these wheels are not factory, and that they have a different offset and taper. I am very surprised by this, but you guys are more...

Thanks again for your patience, and the additional info. In reference to adjusting any play in the caliper brackets…..with the DoctorDiff kit there are no caliper brackets. The calipers mount directly to the spindle, and there is zero play. Pic attached.

Fender Tag….

Thanks for the information. Measuring to the outside lip is 4-1/8” exactly. I purchased the car from the original owner. The braodcast sheet came with the car. I could be wrong, but I believe the codes verify a rallye wheel option. At an outside chance, I guess the original wheels could have...

I am assuming that going to a 15” wheel would also solve this problem completly. Would these wheels from Wheel Vintiques have adequate clearance? 15x6 Chrysler Rallye Silver Small | 5x4" bolt | 4" backspace

Confirmed 4” backspace…..

Using your suggestion to test adequate clearance with flat washers as spacers, it requires 3/8” of washers on each stud to completely clear the caliper. I am simply not comfortable with that thick of a wheel spacer. This kit is advertised to fit!

Thank youn all for your relies! Much appreciated. The calipers are absolutely making contact with the wheels. I removed the retaining clips and verified that it is just the caliper. There is less than a 1/16” max where it is not in contact with the wheel.

I have a 1971 340 Duster with factory 14” 5x4 BP Rallye wheels and factory manual drum brakes on the front. I have installed a complete 10.95" Front Disc Brake Kit (Stage 1) from DoctorDiff. This kit is supposed to fit with factory 14” Rallye wheels. The installation is correct per instructions...

Anyone have any experience with TRM (The Ram Man)? Ram Man / Shop List / 1966-1972 (Factory Rear Mount Calipers)

Not on mine, 10” drums front and back. Manual.
