Can anyone confirm on the disc brake question?
The 5 lug 15x8 would not clear the calipers on a set of 88-98 spindles I have. They were 4.25” backspace. I sent them back to summit racing. They may have fit if I ground off some material on the calipers but I did not want to do that. I believe the 6 lug wheels are also 4.25” backspace. I plan on getting 6 lug rotors and using my 6 lug CUCV wheels as they are 3.75” backspace and should hopefully clear the calipers.
