Can someone answer a question for me? I have a 69 Malibu that has drum brakes on it and I want to switch to a factroy disk setup. The car has the 69 5 spoke SS 14" wheels on it. Am I correct in assuming that the wheels will still work? Any info would be great. Thanks

They probably will work with the factory disc brakes. The issue is almost always related to older original steel 14" wheels.

That being said, if you put huge rotors and big brakes you will have issues if you keep the 14's.
