Disc brakes with 14x7 inch wheel

[marshallfry01]

Can you run a 14x7 inch vector wheel when you have disc brakes or will it rub? I want to find some origional vectors and I want to know if they will fit before I buy some. If they won't fit I guess I'll go with a 15x7...   Thanks in advance!

Are you talking stock or aftermarket disc brakes?

The only stuff I can think of off the top of my head is the OEM disc setup for '69 Chargers.  Pretty much all the retrofits would need to at least be checked for fit, and anything with rotors much bigger than 10" are probably not gonna clear.  


These days the old car hobby is begging the tire & brake companies to keep supporting 15" wheels, let alone anything smaller.

I really like the look of the original vector wheels.  Did they come in a 15x7 also?  I'm thinking they did...  But I don't like them enough to where I would have to run drum brakes.  Im pretty sure most of the aftermarkets would not fit but I am not sure.

Aftermarket Vectors do, but Getting harder to find original 15X7" Vectors. Yes, the STOCK 1973-76 A-body, Single Piston Disc brakes are a direct BOLT ON for B-bodies up to 1970. Will clear 14" wheels.

15x7" (old) Vector wheels were what they used on all the Generals for the 2005 & 2007 movies.

The reason I ask all of this is because I love the look of the early GA General Lees.  They have the original 14x7's with the center caps.  Is it really hard to get tires anymore for a 14 inch wheel?

It's not hard to get tires for 14" wheels.  But it's becoming pretty hard to get a decent selection of hi-performance and taller sidewall tires.
