caliper clearance

[booyaballer]

i have installed Dr. Diff's stage 2 sliding disc caliper brakes (11.75" rotors) on my 70 challenger. I have the 15" wheels (Chrysler Police wheels) that I want but it looks like a really tight fit. is there a minimum spacing requirement between the caliper and wheels that I should observe or am i good to go with the ever so slight clearance i have?

Thanks.

As long as they don't rub you'll be good to go. I've seen some that were really close, like about 1/4" or so.

They will be close. I have 11.75" rotors with torque thrust 15 x7 rims. They clear but you'll have watch out where the wheel weights are put, if you use the stick-on type. I had my weights low profile and placed against the hub so everything clears. I use the same setup as you. Your wheels are steel so you should be good to go.

The police wheels are designed for disc brakes and have the extra cooling slots.
