Default front drag tire/spacers/lugs

couple questions

what brand/size front tire do you guys run at the strip?

what spacers do you use up front?

is there a write up on how to grind your brakes? (i found one on a jank site... lacked in detail and no pictures)

also what lugs do i need for prostars?

and last where did you buy all this stuff? summit? jegs? tsp?

I run 15x4.5 weld drag lites with goodyear bias ply tires. No grinding and a 5/16 spacer, but I'm on LT1 brakes. I used open end m12 shanks from summit

I use 1.75BS 15x3.5 Jegs Sport Mags with 26x7.5x15 M/T Sportsmans and cheap Autozone open-ended tapered seat lugs, and I didn't have to grind or use a spacer.
