    Rear disk brakes and 15's

    Well I was all excited about doing the 5x4.75 lug swap on my truck and running 15's...Well the rear brakes just aren't going to clear. What are my options besides swapping to a drum brake rear axle?

    You can grind the calipers down.

    Abandoned the idea. Maybe on the next one. Sure would have been nice.

    Factory disc brakes on there? If they are, then there should be no issue with grinding the caliper down a little to get the clearance you need.

    Install an IRS and move the rotors inboard? Kah-ching!

    Narrow the rear end and move the wheel offset outwards.
