i want to put 15's on my 95, 80 series cruiser but they clash with the caliper on the rear
is it true that the desiel models have smaller rear brakes?
if so, is it just a matter of changeing the calipers over
thanks

no the calipers are the same it is where they are that is the problem
the backing plates and discs are different

with just a small amount of grinding on the rear calipers 15s will fit on
Its not legal to mod brake calipers but it works a treat

i did not want to be the one to mention but yes
you may want to check your wheels for clearance as some wheels require more clearance than others depending on there design and no amount of grinding may get them on better to see how much needs to be taken off before you put stone to metal
