Currently I have a set of 16x10 8 lug and I want to go down to a 15x14 8 lug.  My question is what kind of back spacing do i need to clear the brakes on my 82 model Longbed Chevrolet 4x4 3/4 ton with a Dana 60 front to be added.  And what type Bart Monsters or do I have any other choices ?   THANKS !

well i ran into the same problem with mine. Although i only had the big hub 44 up front. I had to grind my calipers down pretty good. the best way to figure out how much you need to grind off. Is simply trial and error. grind some. then torque 4 lugnuts down, spin the tire repeat. i've heard of spray painting your calipers like neon orange then when you put your wheel on there and spin it, you can see where you're scraping
