The Buffalo Enterprises kit contains a 3/16" spacer to place between
the hub and the wheel, giving clearance for the brake caliper. If
Brad can't eyeball the 3/8" wider tread measurement it should look
close to stock unless he is under the oil pan when he is looking.

Not true...Buffalo Enterprises sells a disk brake kit that uses GM 4x4 6-lug
rotors. There may be others. Buffalo can be reached at: (360) 652-7684 -
they are located in Arlington WA

Subject: [oletrucks] disc brakes and stock wheels
I am in the process of shopping for the much discussed dual m/c, front
disc brake combo for my 49 3100. A buddy of mine tells me last night
that NO disc brake kit for my truck will allow me to use the stock
wheels. I am trying to keep my truck looking as stock as possible from
the outside, and if at all possible, would like to keep the stock
wheel/beauty ring/center hubcap combo.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks
Brad
