duster brakes

[duster 2]

I have a 1972 Duster with factory rear drums and factory disc brakes up front....thinking on using 15'' rims instead of the 14s''....my question is would the brakes be ok running the 15' s ?
Thanks

Are they the old small bolt pattern?

Not a problem, but keep in mind the factory never made 15" small bolt pattern wheels, so you'll be looking at aftermarket wheels.

Hi...so I measured studs and are 2 3/8 '' apart

Larger diameter wheels will help keep the brakes cooler because of more area for air around the calipers and rotors. 15" a double positive. More tire and wheel selection.
