RE: Another tire question, sorry guys
I've got my fingers crossed that they will work. If not, having drums is not the end of the world I guess. Alot of people are still running 'em.

FWIW, disk brakes from the factory came with 14" wheels so the blanket statement that 15" wheels are needed is not always necessarily true. That said, I believe it is needed with the Granada swap. The Stainless Steel Brakes conversion is essentially a duplicate of the factory four piston setup and will work with 14" wheels.
FWIW, my brother's '66 vert has 14" repop styled steel wheels, SSBC brakes and 215/60-14" BFGs and fits without issue. Your wheels may need a little more negative offset if you are having clearance issues.
