Default Welds draglites on a 95' T/A dont fit, what spacer do I need to clear brks?

Took my Weld's from my drag truck to put on my 95 T/A and the fronts hit the calipers. What spacing do I need to clear.

I've always read that for the Welds you have to grind the brakes. That's why I spent a freakin' mint on my Bogarts.
