I used a similar kit on my 57 GMC. The wheels I used were 15x8
stock wheels from a 78 4WD Chevy pickup. Plenty of space for the
calipers without needing the 1/4" spacers that came with my brake
kits.

Subject: [oletrucks] back spacing/wheel size on 3100 w/front pdb
On my 50 3100 Chevy I went with a front disc brake kit from Chevy Duty. Im
very happy with it but what size wheels fit up there? Im worried with
clearance and want to go with either 15 or 16 inch custom wheels but am
unsure of what widths I can go with and still have full clearance. Ideally I
would like to go with 7 inch wide tires, but then i dont know what back
spacing I would need. What have some of you done? What size tire did you put
on the wheel?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Rob
