Just checking, I thought I remembered seeing a post long ago about billet specialties street lite wheels not fitting cars with factory 73 through 76 disc brakes. Is this true or not? I was looking at putting a pair of 15x4s on my dart, which has later factory discs. Thanks Andy

I ran those same size street lites on my Scamp with the late factory discs and had no problem - the only catch is that the center caps won't clear the hubs without an extra adapter that Billet Specialties sells. We just went without the caps.

We also run those wheels on my Duster but have Strange brakes/hubs...

I have them on my Dart with the 73 disc's and no spacer all you need is a die grinder to clearance the hub

ran 15x4's on my stock disc setup...I ran 2.25" of backspacing, had no brake clearance issues, and no issues with using the centercaps either

Yeah they fit. Had to grind on the inside of the center cap some, but nothing major.

I've got them with my Aerospace brakes and rotors. Had to buy the adapters, $50 for the pair. Fits real nice, hardly noticeable.

Same here on my 66 Belvedere.

Weren't there stories of the rims cracking on these? I remember seeing a few posts a while back, but don't recall the outcome

I had a friend chuck the center caps up in a lathe. Just a touch to get them to fit.
