Has anyone else had this problem? Stainless steel brakes corp. says minimum rim size is 14" for their a-body front disc brake kit. My 14x4/2 stock small bolt rims rub on the caliper just barely and I have to run spacers for them to fit. Any body have any suggestions? I really want to stay with steel wheels with dog dish caps. Thanks. |

Changing to 14" x 5½" or 14" x 6" wheels should clear up the problem completely. Are you running SSB's aluminum calipers? Those are a tad wider than the original iron calipers. |

They are iron calipers. I would love to find some stock steel 14x5/2 sbp wheels - anybody have any for sale? I'm not sure this will fix the problem since it is a problem with the caliper rubbing the face of the wheel center. Is the center different on the wider rims? |

I ran into a similar problem on my 73 when I swapped over to disks (used factory disk brakes). Apparently there are drum specific steel wheels, and disk compatible steel wheels. |

you should be able to get some steel wheels from pre-73 a-bodies that are either 14 X 5.5 or 14 x 6. If you cant find them on here, try moparts someone will have them. Brian |
