Is anyone running a 13" rotor and brake combo with 16x8 wheels with 4.5" backspacing? I am planning to convert the front drums to disc. I have Vintage wheel 40's 16x8 all the way around.

If it is the 2 piston PBR calipers, then the 16" rims will not clear.

I'm not sure about that... when I was ordering my Baer kit, I asked for the 12" rotors and the tech on the phone asked what wheels I was running. I told him 16X8 V48s and he said that I could go with the track kit at 13" and fit fine... I'd say contact the company and see what they say

SSBC won't give me an answer as "THey do not test fit evert type of wheel"
