    Is anyone running this setup? I'd like to hear from someone who is before I commit to the brake upgrade.

    Thanks!!

    It's only possible under certain conditions.

    The non finned 11" drums are an obvious must.

    Secondly ...The wheel consists of 2 parts.
    An inner disk and an outer rim.
    The disk fits inside the rim and is adjoined via rivots.
    Rivots are used where the disk is attached to rim.
    That area of rim near the rivot flange requires some grinding.
    Will need 1/16" to 1/8" of the rim flanges ground off in order to allow the drum to seat up flush to the lug bolt pattern.

    I wasn't aware of needing to grind the rivets. I did know they won't fit over the finned drums. I have 33X10.50-15's on mine so I had to get them spaced out a little to keep them from rubbing the fenderwells. I used 1.25" wheel spacers in back and 1.5 in the front and didn't need to change a thing on the wheels or drums. You can see the off set I ended up with fairly well in this pic. Keep in mind I have a slightly wider narrow track Dana 30 up front also.
