I do plan to fit 15" wheels, just got the old Sierra ones fitted for now. The clearance, I guess I can work around. The main problem is the angle of the tubes seems wrong and cant get them close enough to the sidewall of the tyre. The brake caliper seems to be in the way.
Perhaps may be better leaving this job until I have the correct wheels and tyres!

I believe the book was based on Sierra steel 14" rims and just fit, its the thicker rim of the alloy 14" rims that don't fit.
If you fit 15" alloy rims they will be fine. The problem with the book brackets is they don't go around the brake calliper, you need to kick them out around the calliper then back in again. The fixing points should fit on the Sierra uprights. Regards.....Andrew

ive got big discs and calipers on the front, and had the same problem, cut the bottom plate that bolts to the ball joint, bolt it inplace and tack together with the frames slightly tilted back about 10mmish. then weld off the car
