I am looking at purchasing a set of paddle tires I have found and they are a 15" rim and I need to find out if it will clear my 8 lug full floating 14 bolt that has disk brake conversion on it, thanks?

They will usually bolt right on unless you have some extra wide wheels with alot of backspacing.

I just did my 3/4 ton swap with 15" wheels and cleared the disks by just a cunt hair. the wheels are 4.25" BS too. The front D44 is another story. I had about 3 hours of grinding on the two front calipers and caliper brackets. Don't know why but the caliper brackets were much easier to grind than the calipers themselves. The Calipers were a bitch to grind and threw off much less sparks while grinding. My garage was a fucking mess with metal dust.

The calipers are cast iron, the brackets are mild steel.

I have 15X10 rims on my rig and all I had to do was take off the casting line on the caliper and they fit fine. The front dana 60 was a MO****FAWKER!!:mad3:

I put 15's on my rig with no problems just have to have 3 inches of back spacing or less
