I'm starting a 44 swap and I'm wondering if anyone has a picture of a stock J20 8 lug hub, brake caliper setup, and what it looks like from the back with a mounted rim. (I still have to pick up the J20 to part it out so I can't just go and look.)
I'm certain that I will have to do some modifications to fit 15" wheels with 4" backspacing, so I'm trying to get a handle on how much.
I'm running 15's for several reasons -- The tires are lighter than 16/16.5's -- they have softer sidewalls -- and I have a brand new set from another project, plus the rims, axles, etc.
Is there a difference with Chevy calipers, Dodge calipers, Ford calipers, and the Jeep calipers that I need to be aware of? Which have the smallest overall diameter? I've heard the Chevys but I'm not sure.
Thanks.
