Location: New Castle PA | I'm a "purist" kind of guy, and don't stray too far from factory standard stuff. However, a friend is putting disc brakes on his '57 DeSoto and will be using 15" wheels instead of the standard 14" ones. Other than the original wheelcovers not fitting, is there any particular problem to consider, like wheel offset or cranking up the torsion bars? I don't know what the outer dimension of the new tires will be compared to the originals, but I know I've seen 15" wheels on '57 DeSotos so they must fit somehow. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |
