    Looking for info about what you guys used for rims on an F1 with a Mustang II suspension? Right now I have 5 Ford Magnum 500's steels from the 60's. I just finished installing the larger brakes out to 11 inches and the calipers rub these 14 inch rims. Also need something that wont rub the fenders.

    Thanks

    you can "clearance" the calipers if they aren't rubbing too bad...done it on some metric calipers to clear some steelies.... brandon:D

    Thanks very much and I believe thats what I'll do. These are GM metric calipers and they are barely dragging on the rim.
