Question By: Greg Porteus on Mar 25 2021 11:41 PM
You will most likely have to go to an aftermarket rim or just use a small wheel spacer.

Questions: I purchased both front and rear disc brake kits for 51 Wagon. I want to use stock 16" steel wheels. Will 1.25" spacers (part 11302) work for both front and rear discs to fit stock wheels? Also, will rear wheels have clearance for fenders with a 1.25" spacer?
Thank You
Question By: Andy on Feb 28 2021 6:35 PM
Yes, those spacers will be more than enough to clear it and work for you.

Questions: Well, can't use the original wheels with the disk brake upgrade. Calipers hit the rim. Two questions: (a) can you recommend an after-market wheel that will work with the new brakes? and (b) If I put spacers on the front wheels I have to put spacers on the back wheels as well, no? Any issue with the rear wheels rubbing the fender?
Thanks
Question By: Nils on Aug 24 2020 10:05 PM
Any aftermarket rim they make would work because they will clear disc brakes. Make sure they are flush mount. You need to be able to clear
Rotors: 11-5/8" and have a back spacing of 1/2" - 5/8". Make sure your center hole is 4.25" to clear the hub.
