    SIZE Matters
    « on: February 04, 2007 - 05:30:16 AM »
    Okay so now the resto mod 70 challenger has 11.75 Wilwood disc brakes all around

    stock wheels obviously do not fit

    I assume the collapsible wheel in the trunk is not an option

    I was told maybe other collapsible / blow up wheels may fit ??

    What have other members done since converting to bigger brakes and aftermarket wheels - have 18 billet specialities wheels now

    Thanx

    I assume that you tet fit a 15" wheel.  Is it the caliper that is causing the problems?  How about a 16" wheel for a spare?  I know that it is kinda large, but it may be more managable than an 18" spare.

    I have a 98 Caravan & 98 Mustang. Both have the 4.5" bolt pattern but should be the same for all 5 lug caravans,voyagers,town& country & 94-2007 mustangs(hub size could be an issue).  There could be backspacing issues but as narrow as the spacesaver spares are I would think it might just work. I can take measurements if you want.

    The early minivans had 5 x 100 mm (4") so make sure yu know what you've got before you pay for it.

    great info so far, yes the calipers come in contact with stock rim spares,

    i was told that the mustang may fit as I want to customize the trunk, put the air ride compressor system in the trunk for the air bag suspension & still have room for the golf clubs (just joking)

    need room for small bags for the power tour
