I believe the kit is 11" brakes. If you are talking about using the stock wheels from a 1970 or older 2 wheel drive, you can't use them. The inside of the wheel will hit the caliper. You need to use 71 or newer 4X4 6 lug wheels (steelies) in order for the kit to work. WES

Wes the issue I have is these wheels are hard to come by down here and all I have is the stock 16inch steelies. How come guys are running these kits with 15inch rallies, are they not steelies?
