Summit Stars fitment issues
I had draglites on my car before. I grinded the hell out of the calipers then. I had to grind them in a completely different spot on the calipers for the rear. I can't even get the fronts to mount up. I spent about 3 hours getting the rears on and didn't get a chance to look at the fronts. I put them up there just to see if they would mount up and that was a negative. it appears that I will need spacers and longer studs.
What size is everyone running on the fron and what did you do to get these to fit?

15x4 here. fit with no issues with a 5/16 spacer. I did not like the clumsy feel with the spacer so I ground about 5-10 minutes per side and took minimal material off the calipers. Now they fit perfect and car rides a ton better without the spacers.

Weird... I put a 1/4" spacer on the fronts with longer ARP studs with no grinding.. rears no spacers and a lil grinding.. here is a pic of the rear calipers after I grinded them.. I have 15x8 5.5" BS in the rear and 15x4's in the front..

Well, no go, I got a 5/16 spacer, and even though the studs aren't long enough to actually support the spacer, I could still bolt the rims on there. I didn't grind any because it was already grinded for the draglites I had and they didn't spin. I only had about 20 minutes of light, so I'll have to wait until next weekend until I get some more time to look at it. My fronts are 15x7's that worked perfectly on an lt1
