Cleveland wheels and brakes

[RHH]

I have the Cleveland 199-231000 kit on my 1957 PA-18A using Univar STC. KIt includes 40-84 wheels, 30-41B brakes, 075-2900 torque plate and 164-1900 brake disc with 3 bolts. I cannot use tires larger than 6 X 7.00, otherwise the tire rubs against the caliper housing. Is it possible to use a torque plate such as 075-12500 which is offset to the inside and a brake disc with a taller offset to provide clearance of larger tires?

Steve, appreciate the tread you provided. It did answer one question, that being brake disc 164-03300 provides 2 5/16" offset compared to my current brake disc of 164-01900 offset of 2", which is what I need. However, as my axle is not long enough to move the wheel out by an additional 5/16", I will need to move the brake assembly in by 5/16" Any suggestion? See photos attached. Thanks

The disc moves the caliper. Doesn't do anything to the axle. But should fit the axles exactly the same.

Steve to clarify. The caliper will move 5/16" towards the plane with no need to relocate the cylinder. There is enough play in the caliper to move 5/16"? Please confirm. Thanks
