Thanks guys.

Grinded the crap out of mine and still had to use a 5/16 spacer.
Wheels stick out a little.
Wish there was a way to keep them under the fender well.
LOL to ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

i have LS1 brakes on the front of my car. did some grinding and got my skinnies to fit without spacers, but then later when i put new brake pads on they stuck out enough that i had to go back to using spacers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . havent bothered to try any more grinding yet. i think the car looks much better without the spacers

I didn't use spacers on mine front or back. I just didn't like the idea of using spacers. Alot of grinding though <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />

Re: Weld skinnies on the front - anyone grind to make them work?
Well, we finally got them on with TONS of grinding... There's probably about a pound of break caliper material on our shop floor - lol. Including what we had to take off for the 15x10 rears. But they look SO much better! <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
Got ear plugs?
