 Was assured by the previous owner a 15" wheel would fit this and it doesn't. So Im gonna try and find a smaller caliper. Any help would awesome.

 Also a little concerned about the steering arm hitting the tire too.

 Been hard at it, looks like its a chevy truck caliper. I got one for a caprice and got a little closer but there is no way 15" is gonna work. Clearance on everything else is good but that.

As you can tell by now I like pictures, so here are some more. I was really digging the wheels and tires too.

 The shallowness of the discrotor tells me it's from something newer.

For comparison, here's a stock '73 Chrysler discrotor and caliper (mounted on a '60 Chrysler)

 This picture shows how close the rotor is near the spindle on a stock(-ish) setup;
(1973 Dodge Dart with C-body rotors and calipers)
