Has anybody done the 13" vette front rotor
and large single piston caliper conversion on a 67-69 Camaro? I have all the stuff and am going to use my old drum brake hubs. Everything lines up fine except I don't know what wheels to use on the front. I need a wheel with 5.25" offset and a minimum inside diameter of 15.5" I.D. next to the center-section.(The 5.25" offset will allow me to add .25" rotor thickness and .5" caliper clearance. I want to run 16" rims (say 16" x 8") but if I can't get them made for a reasonable price, I would consider 17" x 8" wheels but not 18" wheels. The only problem is that I don't know what 17" wheels will have enough clearance for my caliper next to the center-section and the rim. Can anybody help me out?
