I think you will find it depends on your wheels to a large extent. I asked them this at the Autosport show and they said something like 'it should do but with some wheels and offsets it may not'.....which is as close to a 100% answer that you will ever get.

Sales of goods act and all that does allow you to buy them mailorder and you can quickly offer them up. If they don't fit then you can get a full refund minus the cost of postage (providing you return them in the same condition) I find these days that is often cheaper than the petrol it would cost me to go and look at them and most businesses are happy with this if they have half an idea what good customer relations means

I can tell you 100% that pro race 1.2 13" wheels fit over the Wilwood/Rally Design drum conversion.

I can't see them fitting over the larger Sierra disc version as the spring is very close on my drum conversion.

The same applies to Compomotive CXR's as well.

there are two kits they do

a kit that fits a sierra with rear discs
and a kit that fits a sierra with rear drums.

the drum kit has a smaller disc and will fit under 13's the disc kit has a bigger disc and will only fit under 15's (guess how i found out?)

if you already have sierra rear discs you can get away with chopping the calliper lugs off the bearing carrier and fitting the drum kit in most cases although you may have to re-drill your hub carrier and rotate the bearing carrier around a bit if its not already in the correct place.

This thread may be of use. My conclusion at the end.

Basically what Ash says is true but there is a bit of work to do to the bearing carrier to make the drum kit fit.
