Carl, thats interesting, can't open link but every one I spoke to when trying to convert my Catalina said you have to switch wheel to 15" & I had just bought the Cragars S/S's & new rubber so that wasn't an option. Even had a Co. in Stoney Creek say they could make up a kit,if I sent them my spindles & one wheel,they would send them "stateside" & for $ 3900 & change US they could do it!!! For some "strange reason" [lack of funds] I took a "PASS" on that one!!!!!!!!!

I bought a disc break kit with 11 inch rotors that said 15 inch rims preferred . I installed the kit and my 14 inch rims fit. The kit was from Hot rods and classics in Chilliwack B.C. for $500.

When I converted to disc brakes up front a few years ago I had cragars on the car. My 20 year old 14x6 cleared the caliper but my new 14x7 did not.

Roger, no there was no question, Carl posted the 14" disc brake kit & I jumped in about the 15' wheels. Having the "American" Poncho creates problems when you want to modify some things, re, they don't exist or terribly expensive!!! Ammes Pontiac has a kit now for the 59 to 64's but it states you "MUST" change over to 15" wheels & "Scarebird" out in Washington state has a kit as well, same thing though 15" reg. You guys a "lucky" that Chevy stuff fits. but you don't have the "WIDE TRACK" that looks so "COOL" The 59 to late 60's chevy & Cdn. Poncho's look like thay are going to "fall over" with the wheels 'tucked" way in & so narrow!!!

I probably have misinterpreted something here. I did a fair amount of research on the conversion to disc brakes for my 68 Stratochief as it originally came with 14" x 6" steel wheels. If I had ordered it with disc brakes it would have come with 15" black rally wheels. Everything I came up with on my research indicated I would need to go to 15" wheels therefor I decided to go with the original drum brakes so I could utilize my original wheels which are already date coded, blasted and epoxy primed. Aside from someone READING that the conversion exists using the original steel wheels; has anyone ACTUALLY converted a B body car of this vintage to disc brakes using the 14" x 6" original steel wheel, not the GTO wheel, rally wheel, etc., JUST the plain steel wheel.

I did one about 25-30 years ago and was unable to find any 14" wheel that would clear the B body 4 piston calipers.
