I have gone to disk brakes and a 74 nova rear with my 49 Panel. When I
originally went to 15" wheels with the 6 bolt pattern with 235 70x15 tires the
tires were rubbing the tie rod ends. Before I got it on the road I went to the
new brakes and rear end so I am using 5 lug instead of 6 lug but I have the same
clearance problem. Anyone else had this problem and what did you use to solve
it. I just called one of the after market wheel places advertised in Custom
Classic Trucks and they are out of sight + - $80 a wheel. I need a 4 3/4
backset, maximum. I just do not have that much time to do a search through the
salvage yards although I am getting a little time to go to one this weekend. Any
suggestions for a doner car/truck?
