I am going to disk brakes up front in my 70 C10 with LC9 engine. I understand that I will have problems with my current rims hitting calipers so I am off to new rims. Like the looks of 2001 oem rims on pickups. Putting whole 'k' member with brakes from a 87. Thinking of using after market rotor on front to keep 6 lug all around.

I have a 4l65e tranny with 3:73 rear. Love torgue around town but it only stays in first 'bout 1 second unless you romp on it. Would be nice to have a little taller ratio for highway. OD ration is 0.0696-to-1 for fourth gear

Any suggestion of wheels that would solve both problems?

Thanks
