I don't think either one is going to really clear the calipers. Just like any other Weld wheel you are going to have to grind your calipers. I'm running the Magnum Drag with a 1 3/4 b.s.

Well, I'm using the 2.25" backspace, but I have Strange brakes. The only other option is the 1.75" b.s.

Call Weld and see what they recommend. He ^^^ was able to use the 2.25 b.s. and I run the 1.75 b.s so they both fit one would just tuck in more than the other.

Yes it is. I built it myself. Took more time and $ than planned, but it turned out real nice. I have 3-3.5k into materials. I have more pics if anybody is interested. I am now keeping my eyes open for an enclosed trailer. I do not have the time to build it.
