I have a set of silverado ss wheels and a complete rear end from the same truck. My question is , after i put the rear in my truck, the wheels will fit on the back.

As for the front, will these adapters space them out right?

I really appreciate any help.

EDIT: My truck is a swb 1/2 2wd.

I think I would use a 6-lug rotor instead of the adapter. ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) sells them for the 63-70 truck owners that are doing a dics brake swap. I don't like adapters. You might have to turn down the "center hub" of the rotors,... since the SS wheels have a smaller center hole than the 73-87 truck wheels.

I have used them before with no problems, but you know it is always in the back of you head that you are on spacers.

Anyhow, if I do the rotor swap and what not, will it push the wheel out where it needs to be?

I think it will be fine. The "track width" of the front is wider than the back already. Spacers would make it wider yet. Just my opinion,... But I think this is a better, (safer) way to go.

Definately, I understand whar you are sying. May even be able to work something out with some bigger brakes.
