Default How to 15x3 skinnies fit on LS1 Fbody

How much grinding does it take? We ground off a pretty good bit!

Wheels are 15x3.. or 3.5 weld drag lites... came off an Lt1 car.

simple. no grinding needed. buy a set of 5/16 wheel spacers up front. fixed. grind for the back as there are a lot more load back there.

The spacers didn't fix the problem. It still seems to want to compress the calipers.

a 5/16" spacers should work with a 15x3.5 wheel. Which backspacing does the wheel have? If I recall, there is a 1.75ish and a 2.25ish.
