15" Wheel on Ford Front

[maddog411]

I have a late 70's ford front end with the dual piston calipers. 16" wheels look like they barely clear. I just want to be sure, is there anyone running 15" wheels with these calipers? I have been "told" both that you can and can't grind enough to get them to fit. I that I had been "told" you can buy a bracket on ebay that will make them work. Can someone with real experience set me straight?

i think that yager had a brake bracket for sale that was designed to clear 15s...

I have a couple of 15" wheels w/ 2" BS that clear, but stick WAY out....

I ran 15x8's w/3.75" backspacing on my Ford front. It does take some grinding, but nothing ridiculous. I can get some pics to you this evening if you shoot me an email at mbkelly0@gmail.com

the dual piston calipers require 16" or 16.5 wheels. however you can run 15" wheels by grinding the calipers to clear. ive seen it done several times.
