I have drums at all corners on my 70'. I have read many posts on converting to 11" discs up front by modifying the spindle. My question is what are the biggest discs you can stuff in these 14" wheels:

(Not my car...I wish....just an image I found to show the wheels)

Thanks,

I don't think you can go much bigger than stock. Not a lot of room in those 14 inch rims.

Thats what I thought. I really like the wheels and probably will go with the 11" discs. Thanks, Wheelhop.

I think there might be some "aftermarket" wheels that look the same or silimar, but in larger sizes... Just a thought

Yeah, I have seen those wheels in larger sizes. Trying to keep the ones I have....lousy budget! Maybe I'll start playing the lottery....can't win if you don't play.

Thanks,
Matt

I hear you... Hoping to finally get new wheels this year (after waiting several years)...
