6 lug disc brake conv. now wheels don't fit!!

[Hawssie]

Well after reading here and other places like the Early Classics site and placing a thread or two, about whether to use the 6 lug or 5 lug disc rotors for a brake conversion, I thought I had all the info I needed. Heck I thought I was beating a dead horse to tell the truth. I kept going round and round whether I should do the 5 or 6 lug. The 5 lug used factory and much cheaper rotors and had much better rim selection but you had to immediately buy new rims and do the rear end. I decided to go 6 lug so I didn't have to mess with the rims and tires or change the rear axles. I did this mainly because I don't have the money to buy new rims and tires right now. I mean isn't that the point of using them in the first place! Well nothing ever came up about the fact that now the factory wheels wont work! Thats a big deal when your pinching pennies! Much bigger deal to me then the rear axle work. Of course I never thought to ask either but now I am really screwed, well at least for a month or two. Live and learn!
