i just got mt new Vector Rims 15 / 7......I have a 69 Charger with Factory Disc Brakes..The Rims don't clear the brake cailper on the front I had 14 rims in the car. I am guessing I need to upgrade the front disc brakes.....any help?

Oddly enough I got my 15x7 and 15x8.5 Vectors yesterday too! I plan to hopefully try one on this weekend to see if it fits around my new disk brake set up.

i'll let you know.

Matt, what type of rotors do you have. ? 15" rims should clear the them and the brake calipers. :Twocents:

Yah, mine fit fine.   :shruggy:

Although I am not using the stock disk set up.

Haven't ordered mine yet, but I do have a 4wheel disc kit from right stuff brakes.  They recommended the use of 15" or larger rims.

Yeah, that doesn't make since, since the 14" wheels cleared. Although that factory caliper looks huge compared to mine, you might have to upgrade.
Did you check the difference in the offset and back spacing between the two wheels.
I converted my front drums to disc's. Used the MP system that a number of vendors sell. I also upgraded the UCA to a Firm Feel Tubular.
Got my Vectors in last week. 15x7, 235/60's on the front, 15x8.5, 275/60's on the back. Plenty of clearance. Pardon the crappy cell phone pic.
