Will teh 16 inch rims you sell clear this kit? I installed the disk convertion last fall but never tried to put the rims/tires back on until today and there is no way the stock 15 inch ones will fit. Unless I swap out lugs and use a spacer but not a big fan of spacers. Heard too many horror stories. Just glad I did not buy new tires for the rims i currently have! Thanks in advance,

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
We recommend using aftermarket rims with our disc conversion kits. There will be some grinding that would be necessary if you use original rims. But the best way is to go with aftermarket rims.

I purchased both front and rear disc brake kits for 51 Wagon. I want to use stock 16" steel wheels. Will 1.25" spacers (part 11302) work for both front and rear discs to fit stock wheels? Also, will rear wheels have clearance for fenders with a 1.25" spacer? Thank You

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, those spacers will be more than enough to clear it and work for you.

I have a 48 Cj2a. After reading all the questions and answers about wheels and spacers - can I use my original wheels with a spacer? And do you sell the spacer? About how much farther will the wheel be out with spacer.

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, you can use your original wheels with a spacer for these kits. You just need to clear the caliper.

M y 58 m38a1 has disc (bought that way) but I have a high hard pedal any Ideas??

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
You may need to adjust the proportioning valve assuming that someone installed one on your vehicle.

Well, can't use the original wheels with the disk brake upgrade. Calipers hit the rim. Two questions: (a) can you recommend an after-market wheel that will work with the new brakes? and (b) If I put spacers on the front wheels I have to put spacers on the back wheels as well, no? Any issue with the rear wheels rubbing the fender? Thanks

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Any aftermarket rim they make would work because they will clear disc brakes. Make sure they are flush mount. You need to be able to clear Rotors: 11-5/8" and have a back spacing of 1/2" - 5/8". Make sure your center hole is 4.25" to clear the hub.
