xBabyJesus 02-26-2002, 05:01 PM I'm finally picking up my 1.5 ton running gear, but it's going to be 67-69" wide. I'd like to run a "shallow" wheel and recover some of this width. 15" rims on chevy D60 calipers, how much of a bitch is it to clear 4" backspacing? 4.5"? more? :eek: -J xBabyJesus 02-26-2002, 05:01 PM Can you even grind enough to clear 4.5" backspacing? CrazyHorse 02-26-2002, 06:49 PM run 16.5 hummer rims with the beadlocks, clears the caliper fine, and gives you 7" of backspacing, and is beadlocked on the inside and outside beads.... xBabyJesus 02-26-2002, 08:18 PM I was thinking that, but then I have to buy new tires... also, do they interfere with hi-steer arms? -John 4x4realm 02-26-2002, 08:47 PM 4 wheel drive parts whole sale has 8 lug 15x10 with 2.5 in back spaceing for 60-70 buck each and I know they cleared my friends front 60 no problem TEAM X-TREME 02-26-2002, 11:50 PM Do not grind calipers. I did this and the same day both D 60 calipers busted in half when I hit the brakes.:eek: Buy the 2.5 backspacing 89 blazer is talking about. four_by_ken 02-27-2002, 05:39 AM Originally posted by TEAM X-TREME Do not grind calipers.

Or else you did a really BAD job of grinding. This is done all the time without any ill effects. Ken H. | |
