I got a set of Weld draglites, 15x6 w/3.5 backspacing, and a 7/16 spacer.
But when I tried to put the rims on (front pair) they hit the caliper, and I don't mean a lil. I mean u can't even get them to sit remotely even on the rotor.

I tried both rims, and they both do it. So can some one please help me.


TIA.
Mike


EDIT:
The black is the marker I used to try and seewhere on the caliper it was hitting.



ANd this is the rim. and u can see where it was hitting the rim.

not sure if the 3.5 backspacing will work, most use a 5.5 backspacing and still have to grind some of the caliper down to make them fit without rubbing.

Can u get a 5.5 bs on a 15x6 rim?

and just to be certian, I am talkng about the Fronts not fitting.

Honestly I've never heard of anybody putting bigger than a 15x3.5 draglite on the front. Have you ground the caliper and bracket at all or is it that much of an interference?

Might have to go to a race set of front brakes. My Aerospace race set clears my Prostar 15 x 3 1/2 with clearance to spare. I would imagine with your 6" wide they would clear as well.

I did 15's on the back and had to grind the hell out the caliper til it almost fell off. On the front I know it's almost impossable to get 15's on there without using Bogarts or special calipers.

No I haven't grinded the front caliper yet. I did a post before I got them, and a couple people said just get a 15x6 w/3.5 bs. and a 7/16 spacer. So I did, and they don't fit what so ever.
