Question 70 98 With Front Disk - Custom RIM Caliper Clearnce issue

Hello all. I had intentions of dropping my 70 98 down low via a change is rim size (16s to 13s). Much to my dismay, my 13 inch 100 spoke knockoff wire wheels could not fit because of the massive caliper .

I now have an oppertunity to pick up a set of 15 inch 100 spoke knockoff wire wheels but before I spend the money, I am wondering if they will clear the damn caliper?

Does anyone know if that would work? I think it will but I hoping one of you guys may have experience with this and can confirm.

Best bet is talk with wheel manufacture or maybe ask on a low rider board. I don't think anyone here will be able to answer.

Thanks, but in general, does anyone know if 15 inch rims will clear the massive caliper? I suspect they may as I understand that was the typical production circumference.

Whats up my friends, I took a chance and bought the rims. Running 15's in front and 13's in the rear. Not sure if you folks will appreciate the lowride effect but here is a pic anyway
