I have a quick question in regards to some wheels for my 66 wagon & I know at least Dale has dealt with this issue. My frankenstien of a front end for the 66 is going in this week and I'm having clearance issue's with the front calipers. Here's whats on the front end thats going in, jag front calipers, explorer vented discs, mustang springs. All of that fits on with a bit of caliper shimming, now my big problem is rim clearance from the caliper.

Its looking like wheel adaptors and a +fwd offset is the only safe way around this. I have found a set of 15" BBS wheels with a +40mm offset, what width of spacer/adaptor will i need to get? 1"?, if my math is right a 1" spacer wil give me a + offset of about 15. Is this corect? Will this work well?

I'd like to push the wheels out a bit more than stock increasing overall width. Whats the stock offset for the amazon, is the wagon wheel offset different than the sedan offset? Any help would be great, espially from Dale. Seeing as he's got those 17's with spacers on his sedan.

thanks.
Chris
