HELP - What is the min. size wheel that will fit with disk brakes?
When I ordered my brakes from ECE, I was told that my original wheels would more than likely clear the brake calipers....
BUT... They dont....so now my truck is on the lift without wheels to fit... Dont really want to buy wheels right now so I might have to go a the junk yard to get some... What is the MINIMUM size wheels that will clear the calipers with the ECE Disk brake Kit?? THANKS!!! |

it's pretty routine for guys to grind material from the caliper to fit into 15" wheels...
google search "grinding caliper" and you will see how popular this is on a variety of applications

it would take more than some simple grinding.
you need 6 lug wheels offa 71 and up 4X4 truck. |
