Coy's fitment?

Does anyone know if the Coy C-5 rims have the same fitment issues that the Boss rims do? I am running a factory 72 C-10 Crossmember on my 67. I am planning on doing away with the 3" drop springs and going to a 1" drop spring and 2.5" drop spindles. I dont want to spend the big money on the Coys if they are not going to fit properly. Someone please help!

Re: Coy's fitment?

I sent them an e-mail, am looking at coys too, he said they will fit factory rotors, hd and cpp rotors need a spacer for the center cap. hope this helps.

Re: Coy's fitment?

I needed about 3/16'' worth of spacers for my Coys with a CPP spindle and disk brake kit. Could probably get by with an 1/8''. I think Im just going to chuck them up in the lathe and turn the end of the rotor down a hair.

I wouldn't be so sure that you won't need them.
The HD rotors are the 1.25" wide rotors that are on most 71-87 trucks.

The LD,... or Light Duty rotors are the "odd ball" rotors.
They were used on 1/2-ton trucks from 81-87,... but they are not the norm.
The light Duty Rotors are the ones that don't require a spacer under the center cap.
Board member Mcbassin was making them for a while,... but it looks like he is sold out.

Look here at his thread:
