Scarebird rear disk conversion

[axisg]

What rim size is the minimum with the eldorado swap? I would like to do this but don't want to part with my 14" SSII rims, but I guess I could go with the 15" ones, or would they be too small?

I am really not 100% sure but IIRC the Eldos came with a 15" 5on5 wheel but that may not mean that the wheel was bigger just for clearance....

Those chrome 14" & 15" wheels look great but limit your choices for brakes. Good freind did the same brake swap as mine on his cutlass ( long before I did mine ) and had to sell his 15" Chrome 442 wheels because they would not clear front or back due to the large lip on the rim so now he runs a 15" GN wheel ( I have the stock 15" SS wheels on mine )

When i did the scarbird conversion in my Regal. i HAD to move up to 15" wheels. the caliper was to large to fit the stock 14s back on.

I could have sworn the wheels on a eldorado I was looking at with the rear disc brakes had 14" wheels. Im heading back out there today so I'll check but I'm sure the bolt pattern is 5 X 4.75
