: FYI, stock wheel fitment problems

Just something I found out. Stock wheels off of a Scout 800 (1968) will not not fit on to a Scout II Dana 44 front. The wheels rub on the calipers. There is a dip on the inside diameter of the Scout 800 wheels that interfere with the calipers.


With that said, if anybody has any stock steel wheels off a Scout II laying around that they want to get rid of please let me know.


Edit: OK, I found wheels for my Dad's Scout.

Sure, I have some stock wheels from a '72 Scout II you can use...

Of course, they won't clear your disc brakes, either.

You need *disc brake* wheels, not drum brake wheels.

'74+ SII, or just about any aftermarket wheel..

Thanks for the offer liffhanger and tsm1mt. I'll try finding them locally. The information that I posted was probably common knowledge but I sure was suprised to find this out.
