crosslace rims on rear disc brakes

hey guys, I'm sorry if this is a topic that i couldnt find on a search......but i have rear drums on my 87 t/a and want to do a disc brake conversion....can i still use my stock rear rims or are they going to dig in like they would on front? or would they even look ok? do i need to go out and get another set of front rims?

thanks in advance

Re: crosslace rims on rear disc brakes

well what rear brakes are you using ?

but if sizes are similar to stock there's no issues
you can use rears on front but need a spacer as it will rub strut badly

I have an 87 Formula with a 90 9-bolt rear (PBR) brakes... clears the rims fine. Even clears the 15" lace rims no problem.
