So I figure I will mock up a rally wheel......nope. Hits the calliper and steering knuckle. WTF? CPP must have sent me the big brake kit by mistake. Rotors measure about 13".

Now I need to get the right rotors, or go buy new wheels.....Gaarrrrr
What year is the wheel?
If it is pre-1970ish it wont work no matter what.
Not sure what year they actually came out with disc brakes, but I know the mid 1960s wheels wont fit anything with disc.
Sorry about the brick wall... I know I have run into a few of them myself in my build.
