    i think all 15 inch wheels fit on the big brakes... look at minivans with steelie 15s... its just 14 inch wheels wont fit on the big brakes

    take in consideration that 14 inch steelies wont fit on my 91 turbo daytona but they do fit on this 89 turbo shadow....

    Thanks Guys, Crabs it is.....


    Paul, How big of difference did the 11" brakes make on your GLH... I am very curious because I am not quite finished with the swap...

    I think most people forgot that there are two widths of crabs and two kinds of 11" front brakes at least.

    I think 99% of them will fit with no issues.

    However, i have had one 15x6 crab (shadow crabs) rub slightly on ONE side of a 91-up 11" front brake setup as seen here.

    I have had the same style of crabs over the same style of brakes on my dynasty and it worked fine. I think its rare to run into issues, and when you do, they can be solved by grinding.

    I've had 11" brakes on a few cars. No issues with any of the stock wheels. Latest try was 91' and up 11" with 6" crabs. No problems.

    Yep, minor grinding fix's it. Also, some pizza wheels rub.

    I've got the 6" crabs on 11" brakes. The brakes are the 91 up brakes. I've also had the 6" on the earlier big brakes (1990) and had no problems.
