I'm wondering if going with the one ton front end with associated wheel spacers have permitted the use of late model wheels. It was my understanding that the caliper interference was the problem but with the spacers it would seem to eliminate that problem. I know the argument of hub located vs stud located wheels but wonder with that issue aside, would a different wheel work. Any insight here?

The closest point between the wheel and the caliper, when using Manny's
kit, is theinside corner of the rim of the wheel, right at the tire bead.
It's close enough that some aftermarket calipers may need some touching up
with a grinder, according to Karen's instructions. I did not have a
problem.
The shape of the dome won't be a problem with the spacers or calipers of
the kit, near as I can tell.

You would think that you could use the wheels from the 1-ton truck if it
will fit in wheel well.
