Default THIS SUCKS

I got all of the brakes put on, and go figure my wheels dont fit. I am gonna run to the junkyard this weekend. What size rims will i need? backspacing and all?

EDIT: if anyone wants my rims i will sell them they are 68-69 rims i believe They are in pretty good shape.

Dennis told you the stock 14's won't fit. And, even with the Mag 500's you may need spacers.

No i have 68-69 15x7 rims. the hub is too big for the wheel. (the big hole on the rim is too small) How much do you think i could get for these rims?

Not sure but, I would be a bit concerned that the hub is too big. I don't think going from drums to disk brakes would cause the hub to be larger.

Guys???

It is actually stated that original rims may be to small and the rotor may need to be machined to fit them.

I understand they would state that the rims maybe too small but they are normally talking about the inside dia of the rim in that it would rub on the caliper. The hub is normally not an issue, this is the first I have heard of it..

I've never heard of an issue with the hub being too big to fit. Call Dennis and tell him what you are facing.
