Dick Cepek 15”x8” DC 2 rims

[salineriverman]

Doing a WH disc brake retro on the front of my 71 Bronco. Just wondering if anyone out there that’s done this are using Dick Cepek 15”x8” DC2 rims with
33” x 12.50 MT tires ? If so was clearance OK on disc brakes and steering? Have 3.5” suspension lift and 3” body lift but plan on taking the body lift off.
Hadn’t bought rims yet and just trying to avoid any issues.
Thanks for your help!

I wouldn’t expect any issues with brakes or steering unless you have 76/77 knuckles, then maybe on the steering. I have yet to see modern made wheels not clear factory sized brakes, which your retrofit uses factory sized parts.

Thanks for the response- I had read where folks were having some issues with 15” rims hitting the GM kit but others said they were ok. I think the Dick Cepek rims have a 3.6 backspacing.
I was hoping someone was running this set up and could let me know how it was for them. Worse case I can use spacers.
Again thanks for your response. Have a great day.

Most of the folks having issues are running wheels made in the 70's that were not designed with disc brakes in mind. with 3.6" of back spacing you should not have any issues with anything not clearing.
