72 c110 rear disc conversion

Hello I just converted my rear breaks to disc and my rim won't clear the caliper.
72 c10 5 lug I was using a set of keystone,s with 275 60 15 tires.
Can anyone recommend a rim that would work that would take those size tires and clear the caliper?
Or has anyone done the conversion that might b able to point mee in the right direction?
Thanks

Talking Re: 72 c110 rear disc conversion

How close are the rims? Perhaps you can use a thin wheel spacer?guess it depends on just how close they are.

The mounting surface of the wheel is about 1/4"from the factory wheel studs when it hits the caliper.

A wheel spacer might be a more cost effective solution. But hey we all love new rims too!

Thumbs up Re: 72 c110 rear disc conversion

Chevy ralley's should fit.
The wheels what ever you buy cant have a taper. They need to be straight.

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Wink Re: 72 c110 rear disc conversion

Looks like the CCP brakes. Have fun with them. The park brake is really fun to get right. I have this kit on mine. After 4 days in the shop working on it I got it to work pretty good. After about a year it works OK.

Not a big fan of them.
