Just curious, has anyone changed their front brake system
to bbp disc and redrilled back to the 4"sbp pattern?
I'm in the process of changing to disc but would like to
retain my 14" wheels.
Will the drum wheels still work with disc system?
I drilled mine out to 5 on 4.5 and used rally wheels. using 9" spindles
BUT I was working on it and didn't want to damage the good tires and rims. So I unscrewed the studs for the 4.5 pattern and put back my replacement 4" SBP lugs and bolted on the original 14" rims that came with the car. It cleared everything that I could see. It was really tight. I have also seen some 14" rims that did NOT fit my conversion. (my spare tire and rim did not go on. It seemed to be not as wide as the 4 tires that were on the car. 5 or 5.5 wide I think) I did the Scarebird disc swap. SSBC disc (BBP) conversion won't work for me (hits the calipers), and I have no useful knowledge on the others since they have changed a lot in 6 years. I DID NOT go lock to lock since I was only moving the car around the shop and have since put back on the BBP screw in studs. (I should have tested lock to lock since they will go back on to put the engine in the car from the bottom soon.(I hope:D))
13"s SBP do NOT fit at all they hit the caliper inches before the tire get near the studs. too damn small
Ahhh just re read the post and you have already switched to BBP. if using stock stuff then NOPE won't work something (late model hub I think)is too large or either it hits somewhere. that's why I went the other route.. my bad sorry:banghead: gotta learn read/understand better.
