In order to get any aftermarket disc kit (wilwood, strange) you either need to use a 9 or 10" drum spindle. They don't appear to make a kit anymore for the factory disc spindles.

I chose these wheels over the Billet Specialties. They are similar but the spokes are not solid. I liked that look better.

If you have the 73 up disk brake spindles already you can get this kit from Wilwood.

Wilwood # 140-11019 solid rotor # 140-11019-D drilled rotor. Works with the 73-80 disk brake spindles A,B,E,& F body.

Thanks but my duster is a '70 with the factory KH disc setup which nobody seems to carry a kit for anymore. I believe at one time they did but not now.

Billet Specialties wheel centers are made by Centerline BTW..
So, if you get a Centerline you get the same wheel for less money...

I have this wheel on my car.

okay, anyone running the 15x10 rears with 5.5BS or more and disc brakes? Summit doesn't mention on their site there is an issue with 5.5 or more backspace and calipers. I finally found it on Billet Specialties website. I am really upset now. I am also wondering if I'll find out the 15x4 2.25BS won't work with the wilwood front kit too!

I cant say for the rears, but I have wilwoods on my duster with 15x4 2.25bs streetlites. Only issue I had was the center cap and wheel bearing cover wouldn't fit. So I left the wheel center cap off. What is the issue on the rear? My rears are 6.5bs and I was planning on buying the rear disc kit if I can ever decide what rear end I want.

Whoops should of read the next reply. So the calipers hit? Awesome
