The rally rims rubbed a bit so I bought 1/2” spacers and extended studs.

This worked great, I ran rally’s, the ride was awesome. But I had a whining vibration noise from diff when going over 70 mph which led to me taking it to a shop for rebuild. They said drums were so bad they couldn’t get ‘em off. This is when I thought, now’s the time to upgrade to willwood. Not the big brake kit, just standard kit. Well they called cause the rear 15x10 rims were rubbing. Luckily I had a set of 17” intro wheels I’d bout 13 yrs ago. I’m rolling with these for now until I can afford to get new wheels I really like.

This helps a lot. You said you put the stocks on it at first. We actually have the 2.5" cpp 73-87 on it just need to know exactly what brakes you were running. Or you have part numbers or can point me to something I would appreciate it.

On the wilwoods is this the system 12" they say will fit in 15's. What wheels were the 15x10's. Because there are truck ralleys, car ralleys, 67-68 truck ralleys.....and on and on. I really want to make some 15's work on this so that's for any help.
