Hey guys don't know if this will help anyone but I am in the process of finishing up my car and wanted to pass on this info Yes you can run bubbles with diskbrakes you just have to use a spacer 1/2 inch spacer works great Yeah I know nobody likes to run a spacer because you are defeating the purpose of a narrow beam but I all ready had the bubbles and wanted to make them work so what I have is a 2 in narrowed beam with wide 5 disk brakes and a 1/2 spacer to run bubbles looks good and when I finish car I will see how it handles .

Hey Guy's sorry I have not posted any pictures but trust me it works bitchin I used a 2 inch narrowed beam from CB and drop spindles and then a 1/2 spacer and longer studs and my wheels so far with roughly 500 miles no troubles what so ever .If you would like a picture send me a e mail with a request {subject line } centerline wheel's
