I am in the process of changing my old school cragars over to the Mopar steel wheels - fronts 15x8 and the rears 15x10. I have a Wilwood disc brake conversion front and rear ( installed prior to my purchase). The rear 15x10 rear wheel with 5.5 backspacing hits the Wilwood caliper in the rears - literally 3/16 of an inch on top and bottom. We cannot use spacers because the tire width ( 50 series) will hit the 1/4 panel lip if pushed out any further and the calipers cannot be modified. I have 12.19 sized rotors in rear. I cant use the 11" Wilwood rotor kit without replacing the entire set up in the rear. Has anyone got a fix for this from their own experience or should I go back to the rear drum set up as originally planned before the steel wheel concern? Thank you for your help
