13" rims on sierra rear discs
hello all
having difficulty fitting 13" rims to rear sierra disc brakes set up.
I've ground a bit off the caliper but think it may be best to use spacers and extend the wheel studs.
any ideas how others have cleared this problem and are extended wheel studs easy enough to get hold of
grateful of any help

Just done this on our Avon, we eventually changed to Hi Spec rear calipers, 10mm spacer, longer studs and still had to grind back the ears on the
brake pades!!! Make sure its worth it!!
Also bought some Weller Formula Ford Steel Wheels which helped.

But you do save on pricey alloy calipers, about £450 for the back in in itself!
