HI, I'm a newbie here and own a '74 Omega. I know there has been some discussion about the Omega before but thought I'd start up a new thread. Omega owners (and would-be owners) start talkin'.

 

Nothing to say...'cept we are the "Red Headed Step-Children" of the Oldsmobile world...
Sorry don't want to offend Red Heads (my wife is one)

 

This is a thread I am following..https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...ga-thread.html

A question for you Omega (and Cutlass) fans. Is it possible to have front disc brakes that fit in 14" SSII or SSIII wheels? I've got after-market disc brakes on my '74 Omega and 15" SSIII wheels with TA radials. The tires scrape the wheel wells with every bump or pothole. 14" wheels just don't fit around my after-market brakes. I could go to very low profile tires; that might work but would make the ride harsh. An Oldsmobile should ride smooooth!

 

Welcome to CO!

 

Yes. I have front discs and SSII wheels

And welcome to CO. Hope you get the brakes changed to your liking.

 

I think the stock disc brakes take a different rim.I have drum brakes with 15"wheels and only have a little tire rub on right rear when the air shocks get low and I hit a good bump.But not on the front.

No I just checked My parts book and it list only one rim.
