Default Re: 67 Cadillac disc brake conversion

Are the hubcaps full disc 15" attaching at outer edges?.
Is it actually caliper clearance you're having trouble finding rims for?.
Are the rotors/calipers factory parts and small bolt pattern or large?.
GM went largely std. disc brake for the '68 B-Body cars so if small bolt pattern, 15" disc rims from 68-70 big Chevys or '68 and up A-Body should work too..
If large bolt pattern try rims from 71-76 B-Body cars or 73-87 trucks, others fit too but harder to find..
Lastly, if all fits but ctr. hub hole too small, being inside the mounting bolts you can cut the hole larger usually without balance problems..
