    Hi,
    I have 15x9 or 15x10 wheels on my 68 cj. Looking to do 11" conversion. Wondering if they would rub on these wheels. Also where do they rub if they do rub. I would really like to keep these wheels. Thanks everyone.

    I have 15x8s on my 11" brakes no problems, from what I understand they will not fit the stock 16"x5 rims.

    I have the 15" black spoke rims (unsure who made them). no fit problems with the 11" brakes.

    I trial-fitted an 11" finned drum into my 15x7 Renegade slot yesterday with NO problems.

    It's the aftermarket drums that have the fit problems w/ stock steel wheels. I think I remember someone saying the 15x7 alloy Renegade rims fit the aftermarket drums too.

    I have regular old $40 set white spoke wheels. I had a '75 Cj5 with stock 15x7 jeep wheels on it when I bought it.
