15"8lug wheels on 14SF?

[originalspanksta]

basically , can it be done?

I have a 14sf from an 88c30 and im wondering if the 15" wheels will clear the drum. Wheels are 8 lug 15x10 steelies with 4.25 bs.

im running 15's on my 14b sf with no clearance issues at all, i went down to 15" when I went to 35's.

is your 14sf 6 or 8 lug? Im afraid that may make a difference, as mine is 8lug.

15's will work, do on mine anyway

 

[big83chevy4x4]

i have 15s on mine and clear no problem.

will 15's work on a 14 bolt ff. ( think that's whats on my suburban) the brake drums are giant.

 

[Muddytazz]

Yep, 15's will fit on a 14FF with drum brakes without issues.

that is awsome!! all this time I was considering 16.5 wheels, that gives me so much more options...

it is the D60 that causes the problems with 15" rims, you have to shave the calipers to fit the rim with out hitting, that is what I am dealing with right now...to grind or not to grind that is the question.

15's fit the Full Floating 14 bolt no problem at all. The Semi floating 14 may need some light grinding depending on the drums. My buddy originally swapped an SF 14 under his Blazer, the fins on the drum needed to be ground down a little to get the rims to seat properly.

K20 is ff, correct? it has the hubs that stick out with the circle of bolts on them.

 

[79k20350]

Not all k20's are full floating, if it has hubs then yes, it is full floating.

 

[78Suburban]

awsome, it has hubs
