Wilwood Disc Brakes - 15" Wheels (2 Viewers)

[USOffRoad]

Ok...so my googlefu is strong and I've looked on JTO and Manafre et al who have sold the 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes. Just bought a 70 model that already has these on there front and rear. They are NOT the big brake version. It has some basic 17" wheels on it for now. The only thing I see is that they won't work with the riveted wheels....but nowhere can I find, not even on MUD, that they will or won't work with 15" factory style steelies...that aren't riveted. I'm wanting to go back to 15" steel wheels.

I have to think from the lack of a notice or any posts (that I can find), that these will work accordingly. I sent a few emails as well.

Are you set on wilwood for a specific reason? I went with OEM 60 series disc brakes on my 40 series with stock 15" wheels and its great. It's a super easy conversion.

As I said above, they are already on the 40...and work fine, so I don't care to trash them for no reason. Had I done this myself I'd have gone a different route.

Ooooh, oh my gosh I totally read that wrong. Apologies.
How much clearance do you have to your 17" wheels right now?

Haven't measured...I also have a set of 5 new Method NV 17" with 33" Generals...would need 1.5" spacers but that takes me down the restomod route...which I may do.

Not sure if you are referring to the plum color 40 you just got but from the pics the rears look nothing like these wilwoods ? look more like JT outfitter with Monte Carlo calipers . But to answer your question you will need to get a wheel and test fit it . Some 15s may fit and From the pic it looks like there is a good amount of room
