I installed the SSBC A153 front disc brake kit on my '71 Dart GT several years ago. The car has been sporting the 14" X 5 1/2" Rallye wheels (small bolt pattern) since I've owned it. I've been considering swapping to 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheels (small bolt pattern) with the red line dog dish hubcaps.

Does anyone know if the 14" X 5 1/2" STEEL WHEELS (small bolt pattern) will clear the SSBC front disc brakes?
 
I don't know for sure, but somebody else recently had problems with aftermarket disk brakes and steel wheels, and it was suggested to them that rally wheels had more clearance, so...?
 
Thanks MVH.

Here's what I received from SSBC when I asked them. Unfortunately, I do not have a 14" X 5 1/2" steel wheel to measure.

If I'm reading the diagram correctly, I need 12.84" Diameter of clearance. Can anyone measure a steel wheel for me?
 
Thanks to member hopeto for the following picture:

Looks like my 14" steelies and dog dish hubcaps is a no go!
