This helps, I have been holding off since I could not get anyone that would post that they had a setup that did or did not work.

Thanks, I already have dennys HDK kit, but need to start shopping for brakes, shocks, ect. I keep hearing problems with center hub size issues with Wilwood brakes. I had been pretty stuck on 15" wheels, but if I go larger, I like the looks of your wheels and may go 12" brakes instead of the 11"...

If you don't mind sharing, what size wheels are you running up front, and what brakes did you go with for the HDK setup?

One kit I'm considering is 140-14271, that hub is listed as 2.76" and I could not get a caliper inside the cop wheel to measure, but measured the hubs on my 74 disc brakes and that measurez 2.8", so it will fit BUT it states it increases the track width .26", so I'll need to mount the wheels...

Only reason four piston calipers was a thought was to account for the rear disc being larger 11.2 rotors on the explorer 8.8. If I could keep the disc brakes that came on the car, I would, but the extra room in the engine bay the hdk gives me is worth swapping brakes, even if I need to go to...

I'll have to ask hemi denny, not sure on which kit, just started browsing and kind of surprised at the choices but seems like the only ones with four piston calipers are strange (non vented solid rotors) and wilwood, neither cheap. Seems like some of the wilwood also change track width Just...

Not sure, but keep hearing people having problems with 15" wheels and the 12.19" kits, and I don't know anyone that has a wilwood setup I can test it on. I really want to keep the wheels, I'll even buy some aftermarket 15x10s cop style wheels if I do minitub the car.

Umm, can't say. Non mopar

Current tires are 235/60-15's rear and 185/60-15 in front on steel cop wheels, but the tires are around 10 years old and will need to be replaced (and may change sizes) if it ever drives again. I have been thinking about minitubbing the car and going 15x10's in back, but decided to put that off...

The 11" wilwood is a four piston caliper that are 1.75", the explorer would be stock single piston which I think is 1.875"

I wish you could fit these 11.75" rotors on a mustang II spindle :(

I'm running into a dilemma, really bummed because I want to keep my 15" cop wheels for my 74 dart, but I am doing an HDK k member and need to order front brakes and it seems the only ones that will fit for sure are 11" front disc, and those will be smaller than the rear disc that are 11.2" on...

I have a HDK front k member I will be installing and need to think about what brakes to run up front. I want to keep my 15" cop wheels, and will be using the stock disc brakes on the explorer 8.8 rear. So does anyone know what is the maximum disc size I can run with the mustang II front spindles...

I pulled the slant out of my 74 dart and it needs a new home, has a oem carb with less than 2k miles on it. Free, rather see it put back to use rather than drop off at a junkyard for a core. Brooklyn park area

I have heard it is harder to mount the wheels when there is lots of back spacing. Have you found that to be true with your setup? I want to keep the same front spacing with the steel wheels to keep it somewhat stock looking
