15x8 up front?

well sadly I came to realize that my factory 15" wheels won't clear my calipers. I've got w line on a set of 15x8 wheels. It has a speedway 3" drop axle, and a power steering setup. So do you think I'll run into any issues.

Re: 15x8 up front?

ive got 15x6 rallys on the front of my '49 with a 3" dropped axle. the wheels wouldn't clear the calipers so I had 2 choices - wheels with less back spacing or 1" adapters. I chose the adapters. they have been in there for 20 + years with no problems. goodluck
