disc swap ?

So I want to slam my burban so I was gonna do a disc brake swap with drop spindles. My question is will my 15x8 truck ralleys still fit? I read in the LMC catalog that the disc brake kit may not fit stock wheels. I just got the ralleys and don't really want to get rid of them. Any info will help

Re: disc swap ?

truck rallies will work fine to clear disks. The wheels the catalogs are referring to are the stock pre-71 factory steelies. Those wheels have a slight taper on the inner face and it interferes with the calipers. Rallies fit over a mild disk brake swap - i.e. 11" (maybe even 12" rotor - someone might be able to chime in/confirm the 12" for certain). They won't fit over the 13+ big rotor disk kits, those are for 17-ish wheels and up. But if you do the normal off the shelf disk brake swap from cpp, pol, or ece, and don't get bigger than stock rotors, your rallies will fit no problem.
