Now I am going to have to go measure the prostars that i bought about a year ago and never messed with. I was planning on grinding down the calipers this weekend to get them to fit as my wife won't let me buck up and by some Bogarts.

If you decide to sell them let me know I need a set for my Gn. Are they prostars or draglites?

I thought that your girl was selling her SS and buying something else before the baby comes...? Are you still going to be staying with your folks after the baby comes? Sorry for the thread hijack.

7.5 is only for 15x10 welds. He has 15x8 welds which means he needs 5.5 bs.

we are selling the SS. We have a 96 T/a as well that we are building for a track toy for her.

The baby born? Dude he was born almost 2 months ago! LOL

we are starting to look right now....contemplating on buying land and building. We will see how this market pans out and what not.

7.5 on a 10" wheel. On an 8" wheel the proper backspacing is 5.5

15x8 with 5.5bs is correct. I thought my fox draglites were 4.5 but i could be wrong

If they actually fit a fox body then Ross might possibly be interested in them for his GT.
