Caliper Clearance + Tire Question
Hello all,
New member... just picked up a 4spd 67' Barracuda and will be upgrading the stock drum brakes to disc (all four corners) and getting new wheels (due to new bolt pattern) and had some questions...
Willwood Brakes - I would like to purchase the 11" drum disc conversion - 5x4 to 5x4.5 - and I need a wheel with a minimum inner clearance of 13"... I would like to see if the American Racing VN69 Ansen Sprint 15" wheels would have enough inner clearance to pass... wondering if anyone is running this setup or if anyone with that disc brake size is running a certain wheel that would fit.
Those wheels (15x7 front 4inch BS and 15x8 Rear 4.5 BS) will be used with a 1/2 rear leaf spacer kit from Dr. Diff. I plan on running a 215/65-15 front and 275/65-15 rear. I have read that those tire sizes with the specific back spacing will work.
I know it is a scrambled post so hopefully it makes sense... mostly looking for inner diamater clearance with the Willwood brakes and any help on this topic would greatly help... thanks!
Mike
