Hope these are good enuf.
The red paint is after. Sprayed it over and over to judge the spot where it touched.
I took the tires off/on over 5 times each
Forgot a damn impact too.

Notice the bad *** Moser symbol

15x8 rear 26in tire
used small spacer

I wouldn't run a spacer in the rear, if you grind enough, you'll be fine. What do you need an impact socket for? Just get a regular deep well with a torque wrench and you're set.

takes over a jillion turnes per nut.
I would have an air tool to do it again.

I have a moser rear. the studs are long as hell.
i ground alot and thought it was enuf. still did not clear.
after the untimely brake failure of a fellow Ls1'r. I thought the spacer was safe.

I know what you mean about the jillion turns. I tried putting my 15x10 Prostars on today, but the Nittos are rubbing like crazy and I have to bang the insides more!

My Lt1 brakes are ground much more that that, but i also did it more just incase i went to a 15x10.

Matt, local guy in Midwest. there is a post there.
Never finailized the fact that it could have been the caliper.
All we know is the caliper split apart while braking from 130.

I though I ground alot. Its prettt intimidating taking all that metal off.
I should keep going as I am sure I will have 28/10's next year.

I read that post and am a little confused by it. Apparently it was his front caliper that failed. Most on here dont grind the front calipers.

I had to do the fronts a little.
the pix are the rear though since it was alot more taken off

my back calipers are ground way more. Almost makes me uncomfortable. This is w/ a 15x10 prostar and no spacer. I also heard about the caliper failure in the midwest section. Granted my front calipers are hardly ground, but the backs worry me.

thats pretty crazy, i had never really seen the calipers ground before eventhough i had heard of it for the weld's, looks like there was quite a bit of material taken off

PM me and I will go look in the garage at the packaging.

i did mine today. i ground the fronts so i didnt need a spacer and i took off a lot of material. im going to have to say everyone whos said they didnt need to grind much on the fronts had some decently worn brake pads.
