Questions: Can you use these with your disc brake conversion kit?
Question By: Steve Moore on Aug 2 2018 12:14 AM
You will have some clearance issues. You typically need to go to an aftermarket rim with the disc brake kits. They are readily available anywhere locally.

Questions: The rim in the first photo looks different than the rim in the 3rd photo. My rim looks more like the 3rd photo since the gaps look the same size. The first photo has much larger gaps. I own a CJ2A with 16in rims and i believe the are 4.5in ? Do you believe these are the same rims?
Question By: Zack on May 12 2018 3:58 PM
The photos are of the same rim, just different angles. They are 5 x 5.5" Thanks

Questions: Will 7.50 16 tires work on these wheels?
Question By: Richard Neuhs on May 3 2018 9:13 PM
Once you try to mount a tire large than 700 you run the risk of having rubbing issues. You could possibly need to add spacers to set the tires out some. Ultimately, they will fit though. Thanks

As long as you have a tire that is a non-tube style tire then it should.

Questions: I have a 1946 CJ2A. I just did a front disc brake conversion using your kit #376895 and found that the 15" wheels I have will not clear the calipers. Would these 16" wheels work? If not do you have wheels that would?
Question By: Warren on Jun 11 2016 6:27 PM
Originally your CJ-2A would have had 16" rims on there. These rims will not clear the disc brake conversion. You will just need to go to an aftermarket rim with the 5 x 5.5" pattern and you should be all set.

Questions: I am installing the disc brake conversion kit ( front ) on a 1951 CJ. Problem is the original wheels will not clear the calipers. Do I use different wheels, or use a spacer between the wheels and hub to create clearance. If wheels, what application. If spacers, do you have them and longer studs available?
Question By: Gary Clark on Feb 3 2014 12:00 AM
On some original style rims the disc kit will not clear the inner spacing. Aftermarket rims have to be used then.
