Disc brake clearance question
 

Hey guys
Installed the CPP front disc brake kit on my 66 C-10 and the calipers are now causing clearance issue with the wheels.
Any recommendations to fix this and still keep the stock steel wheel look?
Thanks as always

I assume you are running 6-lug disc brakes up front?
Two choices:
1) Run a spacer to move the stock wheels out.
2) Use 71-87 4x4 steel wheels.
These have 4-nubs for the hubcap vs the 3-nubs that yours have.
But they are getting harder to find every day.
4x4 Trucks, blazers and suburbans all had them.

are they modular spindles or the regular ones?

I just did the same thing.If you have stock wheels thay will rub.Do you have pictures?

The stock 15" wheels for these trucks are not disc brake compatible.

this interests me, because I recently installed the regular CPP 2.5" drop spindles, and my stock 15" wheels (3 nub) clear the calipers....just barely but they clear. Is this unheard of?

It's not UNHEARD of that they don't rub, but I'd say you're pretty lucky. Generally speaking, if you want "stock" steelies and want to stay 6 lug, you need to do what Keith mentions above - 71 and newer K5/K10 wheels will do the trick for your truck, assuming a stock-type single piston caliper. Bigger calipers, not sure. These wheels generally have 4 nubs as a quick ID feature - but, more importantly, they have clearance on the inside of the rime where the caliper resides.

Thanks for all of the answers.
Ended up going with Wheel Vintiques steel and they work great.
Have a great day!
