Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread
With 15" wheels, you will have to stay with 12" rotors. If you convert the rear to discs, that will add 3/16"-1/4" to each side to the overall axle width.

Couple more questions for you guys.
1. To run my 15" wheels will I need to run the 12" rotors or can I go with the 13"?
2. If I wanted to go 4 wheel discs (add discs in the rear) Would that affect wheel spacing and how much?
Thanks guys, sorry to be a bother. I'm sure all this has been covered before at some point. Just wanna get my facts straight for when I do all this.
