[QUOTE="Phid, post: 296715, member: 17232"] Howdy I'm newbie to this site so hopefully someone can help. My 69 Westy has late bay discs on the front and and late bay drums on the back with 113 stud pattern. I am wanting to convert back to stock wide 5 4" steels. I have used a 10mm 113 to 205 adaptor and all fits fine on the back. However on the front the steel wheel is fouling on the brake caliper. Can anyone advise how I can get around this? I assume I need a slimmer caliper (if one exists for this brake set up) or a different wheel. Obviously a late bay 14" steel will clear the disc - however, the plan is to use solids (ideally) with the deep dished hubcaps. Can you successfully fit these hubcaps to the late bay wheels? I have one late bay wheel and it has 3 'blobs' moulded into the wheel which appear to be for hubcap fitting rather than the clips as on the early wheels. The deep hub cap will not push onto these blobs. Thanks in advance. Phid [/QUOTE]
