Anyone have an issue with calipers not clearing the bead lock rings on a 15x15 4"BS dbl beadlock wheel? MW calipers if it matters

My neal and parks just fit my strange brakes

I had 15s converted to 16s and I had to trim the calipers and the wheels to clear. No big deal, Lamb brakes by the way.

I have 15 x 14 wide with 4” BS Bogarts that N&P did the beadlock conversion.

Have MW calipers, axles and had to hand file 0.020” at most from the upper outer corner of one caliper that rubbed very slightly when installed new prior to beadlok conversion. Beadlock conversion clears calipers perfectly.

Inquiring minds wanna know why a 15" diameter wheel????

Car already has a 15x15 wheel, not commited to a 15 inch wheel, just wondering if I put bead locks on if there would be any clearance issues

Dragster or doorcar?

door

I had 16" beadlocks and Dual MW brake calipers and the rings barely cleared the calipers....

They were Dewzen converted dbl beadlocks...16x16

I don't recall exactly how much clearance there was, but it wasn't much !! Made me think about how I could trim the calipers at first but I ran them and did not have any problem...

Mark Williams offers two brake setups. One for 15" wheels, the other for 16" wheels. You need to verify which brakes you have.

It's pretty simple to switch from one to the other simply by changing the rotor and the caliper bracket. Have had to do so numerous times on customers cars.

I had this exact thing messaged to me yesterday on FB. This is exactly the information's I was looking for.
Thank you!!!

Yep mine did I switched to TBM..

If you have Weld Deltas, you will need to either go with smaller caliper or a 1/4 spacer will give you the clearance you need.

Anytime!

I have 15x15 Kiezer double beadlocks and wilwood brakes on my new Vega build and they fit with no problems.

15"x15" N&P clears fine with Moser calipers.

Seems you have your answer but what the heck I have 15x15 Weld Alumastar with MacFab beadlocks with no issues on Strange brakes

But what is backspace…4” is the problem

Thanks everyone but I decided to put 16x16 inch wheels, I was wrong in my original post it has 15x16 with 5 inch BS, it has plenty of room for 16x16 and offers a better tire selection
