Default Rollers

I am going to go look at some 18x9.5" rear corvette wagon wheels to use as rollers on the front of my 68 Camaro with 14" Baer brake calipers any one used these as rollers before? Did they work on your large calipers?

Can you remove the calipers?

Yeah I can, do you think it is a waste to have rollers? They are less than 50 bucks each just thought it would be convenient to have a junk set.

I used 4th gen 16" donut spares that I picked up at the junk yard. Paid $40 for four of them. Worth every penny if you ask me. Whatever setup you get that fits is all that matters. If you have to pull your calipers to get them to fit and it's not an issue for you, I say do it.
