Disc Brake wheels????

[Degnol]

I've got a '66 FJ40 and put some Outlaw wheels on it with the correct backspacing, but due to the aluminum wheels also had to use a 1/4" spacer. Worried a little about grabbing enough threads, but it has done well for almost two years. BUT now I'm getting ready to swap in a '77 axle with discs and wonder if I need to get either stock wheels(for Disc brakes) or get REAL wheel spacers, like 1"(bolt-on-lug-out).
Anybody with some advice....and/or wheels?
TIA

why not just buy longer wheel studs thats what i did, you should be able to find them at almost any good auto parts store. the brand i used was dorman its part #610-265, 10 to a box they are M12-1.5x44.8MM. the factory are about 37 or 38 mm long and these are 44mm you might be able to get longer if you ask the parts guy. they were about 1.00 to 1.50 each. GOOD LUCK!!

what is hitting, is it the wheel weights or the wheels them selves, the wheels i have on my 76 were on my buddys 70 w/33 TSL swampers and the only thing they hit on his rig were the wheel weights so he used the stick on weights and there aluminum modular 15x8 wheels. on my 76 they clear fine no need for a spacer, i just went the longer studs because of the thickness of the wheels. and yes they are 3.5 back spaceing no probs.
