65 wheels
I need advice on a wheel size for disc brake conversion. My stock wheels won't clear the calipers. i'd like to do a stock size wheel and tire on the front and go with the widest rear tire possible. By the way... it has a 4/6 drop.

Re: 65 wheels
Use the later early 70s six lug wheels that clear discs.

Re: 65 wheels
I'm open to putting a different style wheel on my truck. I'm thinking a 15x8 six lug will work. Does anyone know if this size wheel will fit on a 1965 c10 with disc brake conversion and 4/6 drop and does anyone have a set for sale?

Re: 65 wheels
Yes, the 4x4 15x8 rally wheels with rectangular holes will work.

Re: 65 wheels
Are there any other kind of caps that can be used on that rim?

Re: 65 wheels
So you converted to disc and stayed 6 lug? I suppose you know that 5 lug offers a lot more options.

Re: 65 wheels
Yes sir... the reason I stayed with six lug was because i wanted to keep the front the same as the back.
