Rear disc conversion with 15x8 steelies

Has anyone on here converted there rear 12 bolt drums to disc and still be able to use their 15x8 4 nub disc brake steelies?

Im weary about the kits out there coming into contact with the wheel. These wheels were hard for me to get!

Each kit is going to be different. You will probably have to contact each individual manufacturer to find out if the brakes will clear your 15" wheels. Its going to be tough to find stuff to clear a 15 inch wheel.

Where can I find Captainfab's kit? I thought it was only used with impala calipers?


Nvm I found it in the vendor section!
