 i did a search but didnt come up with the info i need. i know this has been asked and posted on here before. but i cant seam to find the post. I am running 1 tons under my 82 yota.  and would like to run 15 inch rims. i know i will need to grind the calipers down on thefront. but what will i need to do to the rear end? can i run 15 with drum brakes? do i need to switch to disk? ( wheres a good place to get disk brake conversion parts?) what kind of off set should i be looking for on the rim? any info on this will help out. thank you all. :beer:

15's fit on my rear 60 with drum breaks and 3 3/4 inch BS.  you will have to grind a lot out of the front.  or you can get 3/4 ton rotor's and calipers and get some special brackets and then you will only have to grind a little.

Pre 77 chevy 3/4 ton calipers, rotors and backing plates.  The backing plates will need to be machined and redrilled to the 60 spindle pattern but thats not a big deal really.
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??
