What size wheels.

Hey everyone, just wondering, you guys that have done the front disc conversion. What size wheels did you guys use. I have a set of 15 x 8 rally wheels that i wanted to use, but was wondering if they would fit. I will be using the 6 lug rotors that ECE sells.

Re: What size wheels.

I have not done the conversion but a 15" rim will fit no problem-

Good luck!

Re: What size wheels.

I am doing the ECE conversion with 6 lug and am planning on using 15x8 pickup ralleys from a 73+

Didn't the '69-'87+ have 5-lug?

You could order the heavy duty suspension and get the 6 lugs on the 1/2 tons (like mine). 3/4 tons came w/ 8 lugs.
