Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

CaseyW said

I was speaking with PST today, they kept insisting this kit had been used for 20 years by Wilwood with no problem..., and the reason it's not working for me is I don't have factory 15" SBP wheels with a 3" center hole. I then told him that those were never produced, SBP wheels have 2 1/4" center holes and even LBP wheels don't have a 3" center hole. I then added what you brought up, the studs being the wrong size for SBP wheels. This seemed to finally make it click with him that Wilwood was full of it saying this would work with SBP wheels. He said he would follow-up again with Wilwood engineering.

Dude, for the type of driving You said You were planning on, I really wouldn't change anything. My '69 Dart w/a 'teener was out the far side of the traps @94+mph, & I never had a
problem hitting the first return road with stone stock 9" frt drums, & the 10x1.75" rears on the 8.75 rearend...manual brakes. I agree with abodyjoe, send the **** back, it ain't
worth all this dumbass riggin' to end up with no better than the K-H OE system. In no way would I touch those hubs with anything to modify them, You will be screwed if they don't
work, or worse if they fail & You have an accident. Even just stepping up to 10" drums would improve stopping a bunch w/o this stupid bullshit. It's simple, they either sold You the
wrong kit, or they don't have a right kit to begin with. Period.
