will my wheels fit

[woodywoodward_123]

i have a 68 swb I'm looking to tuck 18.5 tires in the back on rear disc brakes. i looked at early wheel and they will make custom 15x14 rims. but the web site say it wont clear disc brakes with a backspace more than 4.5 inches is this true because the rims i will be ordering will have between 8.75 and 9.75 i have a few more measurements to do.

If their website says that,... I'm sure it's true.
You might call Wheel Vintiques and see what they say about their wheels.

thanks i just don't understand why it wouldn't clear the disc because all I'm doing is adding more length on the out side of the rim. if that makes any sense.

Must have a clearance issue with the disc brake caliper,... that they don't have with a brake drum.
