Yes, I have the magnum's in a 1.75" b.s and I used 5/16" spacers and there was no grinding required...
There won't be alot of room... but they do fit and spin freely...

yes they work. 2.25" bs work better. tuck up really nice. but that will require race front brakes.

I'm running 1 3/4 b.s. in the front. Had to grind the stock calipers to get them to work without spacers. Aerospace front and rear kits are on the way now 2700 lbs here we go Switching to 15x10 with 4" b.s. will have pics as soon as Summit sends me my stuff. They were ordered back in March and won't be here until June

just so i didn't have to start a new topic about this....

figure that the 1.75 BS wheels with the 5/16" spacer work fine.

but will the 2.25" BS with the 5/16" spacer work? i figure that extra half inch tucked in would help look a bit better

that's with race style front brakes though. i appreciate the pics since it makes me want them more, but was more wondering if a 2.25 BS wheel w/ a 5/16" spacer would fit over the stock front brakes

yes...they will..I have not installed the front drag race brakes yet and I can roll my car around with the stock brakes and spacers.

Here's another real sharp looking, light weight front wheel.



Also, the M/T ET Drag front wheels are less than half the cost of the Welds. I just ordered a set and they listed through Jegs for $229 ($284 from Summit) and with the racer discount program they were $188 each.

Previously these wheels were dual bolt pattern which weren't the most appealing looking. But M/T has recently changed them to be single bolt pattern which looks much cleaner IMO.

What's the backspacing on that wheel?

What's the racer discount program?

I've been debating between the M/T's and some Welds.

Both Jegs & Summit offer racer discount programs if your NHRA licensed 9.99 and quicker.

I'm told the 3 piece wheels are discontinued and only 1 piece are all they are going to make from now on. I think to find the 3 piece, your gonna have to find a dealer with older stock.
