13" rims on sierra rear discs
ever88 - 2/7/07 at 06:11 PM

hello all

having difficulty fitting 13" rims to rear sierra disc brakes set up.

I've ground a bit off the caliper but think it may be best to use spacers and extend the wheel studs.

any ideas how others have cleared this problem and are extended wheel studs easy enough to get hold of

grateful of any help

Rally design sell longer wheel studs and spacers. depends how much clearance you need to gain.

Just done this on our Avon, we eventually changed to Hi Spec rear calipers, 10mm spacer, longer studs and still had to grind back the ears on the brake pades!!! Make sure its worth it!!

Also bought some Weller Formula Ford Steel Wheels which helped.

But you do save on pricey alloy calipers, about £450 for the back in in itself!
