lowering

I've rebuild the stock frontend(drumbrakes)to a discbrake setup.
i used a pair of belltech 3"drop spindels pn.31200 and 5 on 5 rotors from a'72caprice inc.the calipers.the outer rodends are turned down to 5/8" Lh thread(see pic.)
my question is:is the front stands wider;will 15x8" wheels fit under the fenders,what sice of tires will fit and do somebuddy have a diagram for the caster/camber-toe/in. corections????

69 stepside

Yeah, you should be able to run those 15x8 even with the disc brakes. I had disc brakes on my 69 c10 back in 1991 and I had 15x8 with some 60 series tires and it was no problem.
