Was running Weld 15x8s before and had the calipers grinded down. Worked fine without a spacer.

I bolted on the Weld 15x10s (7.5" bs) and they rubbed badly. So I started grinding again yesterday, but the calipers starting looking a little "thin" to me.

If you're running this combo, are you using a spacer in the rear?

Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah brother! I run a 5/16 spacer with my Weld 15x10's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If I don't get the spacers just right they will still rub. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Same here... Even with my Wilwood rear brakes, I have to run a 5/16" spacer with my 15x10's (7.5" BS).

I run 15x10 with 7.5" B.S. and no spacers.
No problem with the calipers after grinding.
Actually they are no where near as thin as the fronts , which I run 15x4" with 2.5" B.S. and no spacers.

isnt running spacers both against NHRA rules and dangerous? i have thought about running spacers. a set of welds barely fit after grinding them

I got the new Bogart D-10's from PPO. 15x9.75, 7.5 back spacing. No grinding, no spacers. Looks awsome. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

I had the same problem when I went from 15x8's to 15x10's...

I am running 15x10 Pro Stars, 7.5 backspacing, and NO spacers.

Are you sure you're not overgrinding a spot that's fine?

PSJ...i use a colored marker each time to color the caliper before I test fit the rim. Then I can see where the marker has been rubbed off. I think I will use spacers. Got a whole bunch of them at the house.

I had 10's with no spacers and no problems. The fronts are tougher. Went to 8's and had to pull the weights off the wheels because they hit... Stick-on weights will work on the inside of 10's tho.

I have 15" x 10" Pro-Stars and use a 5/16" spacer. Coach is right, the wheels will still rub sometimes. I marked my wheels and one wheel stud so that I put the wheels on the same side and same stud every time, that way they never rub.

Krush, the backspacing doesn't determine if it rubs or not. All of the Weld brand wheels rub on the backside of their face against the front face of the calipers.

I went through hell getting mine to fit...took the rims off so much that I ended up stripping 2 studs on the passanger side...now I run extended studs in the back w/a 5/16's spacer...

Works fine...but I'm still having problems fitting my 27x11.5x15 Hooier QTP's in the wheel well... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
