Default A few pics of my Prostar/Summit Star combo

I'm running a 15x3.5 Prostar with a 5/16" spacer up front w/ 3.25" studs. Rears are 15x8 Summit Stars w/ 275/50/15 Hoosier drag radials (they hook AWESOME btw). These work pretty well for me at my bolt-on level for now, I'll upgrade to some bigger studs and a real drag wheel out back as soon as funds allow.

Yeah, If I didn't have to traverse massive speed bumps on a daily basis I'd think about lowering it.

Great thats moving it'll get even better when it cools off around here, I cant wait either but I probably won't be able to take my car until after the Street Nationals. I've added a cut out, Adjustable T Arm, FTI 4000 stall, and a few other changes so i'm gonna make a few more runs SI before I put the cam in.

No spacers in the rear. I didn't go prostars in the rear for two reasons. First, they require much more grinding to get them to fit, and my car is a DD so I'm not comfortable with that. Second, they use a shank style lug that requires longer wheel studs, which I didn't want to change at this time.

Can you be more specific on the amount of grinding. I heard that LT1 brakes require less grinding also with the prostars.

on my car i grinded them to the point where i didnt think it would be safe to go anymore, i still had to use 5/16th spacers on the rear. some people fit the rears without spacers but i bet they really have to grind the living **** out of the rear calipers. the fronts fit fine w/ 5/16 spacers and no grinding. btw my wheels are weld draglites 3.5 front and 8s in the rear. im still running the stock wheel studs.......dont know how safe or how long that is going to last

I spent about 6 hours grinding mine, and they could still use a tad bit more, running 5/16th spacers as well. They tuck real nice too.

Yeah to fit the summit stars on the rear I probably did about 20 mins of grinding/test fitting/grinding on each side.
