If you want to keep the original look, find a set of wheels from any 5 lug 1975 and up Ford with 14" wheels. They will fit and they are 6" wide as opposed to the original 5" (5.5"?). They should be cheap and the original wheel covers should fit.

alright we are making progress.

I would be interested in this, but how soon do we have to purchase for the group discount I am quite a ways from needing any of this yet.

degins

Tylerdru is administering this group buy. I would assume that he is anxious to make the buy, so I believe that when he gets 5 solid buy commitments, the buy will be made. I'll give another week after that for others to take advantage of the group buy price.

Yea I'm not going to be ready until summer (hopefully) more likely fall to get to this stage sounds like a great deal though. Look me up agian if there is a future buy.

So, are you saying that my 14" wheels from my original 65 which have a 4.5 inch Back Spacing won't work with this set-up? And, that I would need to invest more to upgrade to wider wheel spacing?

Glen that is how it is with the granada swap. you need 15" wheels i thought.

degins

Glen,
It's not backspacing that is the problem. The bearing boss of the Granada rotor has a larger diameter than the original. It wont pass through the center hole of the wheel. Some people advocate turning the boss down so it fits. I wouldn't. The calipers also tend to interfer with the inside of the original rims also. This is common with nearly all front disc brake swaps. Most require the use of OEM wheels designed for disc brake use, that is 1975 + ford 5 lug 14's, or aftermarket 15's.

I'd be in for the kit for my 73!

OK, thanks degins. I just wanted to clear that up.
