need some 73 to 87 help, your the experts

ok Chevy Truckers, I need some of your expertise. I have a 72 Blazer that I'm changing over to 2wd. I have a front crossmember, A-Arms and Disc breaks off a 73 pick-up. Here is the question. I'm thinking about running the Cragar delux 69 wheels. 15 x 8 with like a 3.50 offset. Will those 15" wheels fit over the Stock rotors and calipers off a 73? thanks for letting me post in your guys area.

Careful, the 7" and 8" have 3.75" backspacing. I actually had problems with the 3.75" on the rear of my Stude. I was informed by the Cragar rep (after the fact) that you can order them with less or more offset.

Most 2wd trucks run a 15 inch rim,But like said back spacing can cause problems if its not right.
