You need to go down to LT1 brakes and grind the **** out of them. Or go to a strange rear caliper and add a small spacer 3mm to clear the strange caliper. This is as per another member in the other thread, he said it was still very close and he may grind the corner of the caliper a lil still.

they are alot worse than regular prostars. i too have rear strange drag brakes and even with a 1/4" spacer, i had to grind the calipers and the part of the brake pad that the pin goes through. pissed me off. and i only have the 15x8's with a 4.5 backspace on my car (narrowed rear). i would imagine it would be worse with the 15x10 and more backspacing. here they are on my car

Just put some lightweight track front runners on them and just use them at the track. She cares if you 'match' out there?
