Re: Tire Choices..

Dave,

Don't count out a disc brake conversion...if you go with A-Body parts
(which had 14" wheels) it should work fine. I still had 14x5's on my
65 Coronet when I did my disc conversion (w/ parts from a 73 B-Body)
and it worked fine. There are 2 caliper adapters available..."small"
and "large" rotor versions. The A bodies all had "small" rotors, where
the b-bodies had a mix of small & large. Use the small and you'll be
fine. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!
