If the offset of your front and back wheels -- the link I saw made no mention -- are 38mm, I think you should be okay. The rear wheels may be close.

Please be aware offset and backspacing are two different things. Here's a link for that:

The new drums shouldn't add any width but I would double-check to be sure. Then with your current rear wheel off, you should be able to measure and calculate whether you have met that tolerance. Make sure you get the data right from the manufacturers.

If you order the disc brake kit
THROW OUT the bearings that come with them.
If you need new bearings buy a name brand (SKF,FAG,Timken, NTN) from a local bearing supply house.
The ones that came with ours didn't even have a name or number on them, cheap offshore crap.

i thought it said they were 38mm backspace, bummer.
i guess i got to find out what my offset is. my current wheels stick out pass my fenders and there only 15x4.5inch rims which is kinda sad really.
Well I sent discounttire a email asking for there wheel offset, should get a response back soon.
