Will stock 14" rims work with disk brakes?

I have the granada front disk conversion and the explorer rear disk conversion done but the thing is I still have my origenal 14" spare... will it work if I have to use it? Or do I have to get atleast a 15" riim for a spare? I'd appreciate any and all info I can get. Thank you.

 

it should, i have the original granada 14 inch rims with my granada disk brakes.

 

yea they will work just make sure the center bore of the rim is big enough for slide though

 

Factory 14x7 Magnums get a bit close to the caliper. I had a rubbing problem due to a rough weld on the wheel. 14x6s are fine, and 15x7s are no problem.

 

I don't know how wide the origenal rims are that run the 195/75-14 tire... this is just a spare but its 36years old so I'm debating on either putting a newer tire on it or just get a differant rim & tire.

Any fitment experiance with a 14" rim and the explorer rear disks? thanks

 

Food for thought ... I scored a smaller spare out of a mid-80s LTD. It is T125/80/16. It takes up half the trunk space that a full size spare does. You keep it pumped up to about 60psi IIRC.

Grab the molded grey felt cover that came with it too.
