Stock 15" steelies and cop rims will clear but 15" Ralley's won't. It has to do with the lip on the rim interfering.

Right, Ralley's don't fit and early drum brake rims don't fit. Some of the aftermarket reproduction stuff won't fit but most late model steel rims do fit. I just assumed when I designed that kit that anyone who is putting Viper brakes on their car wasn't going to be using steel rims but I found out otherwise. Seems there are guys out there who wanted to run the Viper calipers in "stealth" mode behind factory style rims.

Looks like I misread the orignal post.
My spindle sleeves will adapt Andy's 11.75" Viper kit to a B/E body DRUM knuckle, or his 13" Viper kit to a '70-'72 disc knuckle. He doesn't make 11.75" caliper brackets for the disc knuckle.
'73-'76 A-body drum knuckles are identical to the earlier B-body drum knuckles, except they take the larger, late model inner bearing and seal.
Sorry about that. You can return the parts I just sent you, Phil.
So I'm confused a bit (as usual) to put these on a 67 B body do I need your sleeves, new knuckles or.............?
Thanks
