Well as is usually my luck I converted to front disc brakes on my 68 using the right stuff kit. Now my tires rub the fenders when hitting a bump or turning. I have 15x7 rally wheels on the car with an FW code. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue when doing a conversion and what rally wheels they used to correct it?
Thanks
Mike

 

I have American racing wheel 15x8 on the front with 4.5 BS with a 215-65 tire . no problems
how old are the springs?
has it been lowered?

 

Not sure the springs age but it has not been lowered. I checked the back space on the wheels and it appears to be 4" I am guessing that is the issue as you have 4.5 on yours I am going to try 215 70s with new wheels and 4.5 BS Hopefully that does the trick. If not I am out another $1000 for redline radials and wheels

 

Which kit did you get? They have one with standard spindles, and one with 2" drop spindles.

 

The standard spindles

 

The wheels are probably for Drum brakes and are the wrong offset.

 

Thanks for the reply I am hoping that is the case I have 4.5 BS wheels coming tomorrow I will post the results

 

Just wanted to give a quick update. I bought 2 new wheels with 4,5 inch backspace and problem solved, Thanks for all the replies
