Default How do I fit 3.5" rims on the front of my F Body?

I know the info is on here, but I've been searching for 30 minutes and can't find it!

Got a set of Weld Drag Lights on my Chevelle and thought about putting them on my 94 Formula for a change of pace. The fronts hit the caliper. I've scene refrences to grinding and spacers but I can't find the specifics. Where's the info at?

Thanks!

You have to grind your brakes down with an angle grinder, or use spacers which require 3.250" ARP wheel studs. I'd just go ahead and buy a set of 15x3.5 wheels that are designed to fit over your OEM brakes, such as Weld's new R/T wheels, or Bogarts.
