What kind of drag brakes do you have? What are you looking to swap for?

Which wheels did you purchase from Summit? Only Weld's R/T Series wheels, and Bogarts Drag Wheels will be a direct bolt on in all four corners.

Most wheels aren't going to be a direct fit and will need some grinding. I spent 3 hours grinding my calipers for Prostars, and it's still cutting it a little close.

i have the sum-521-5162ps they have a 5.5 in backspacing because the rear is narrowed 4".

the rear brakes are u.s. f33i drag brakes. i just want the stock ones in swap. plus money. i would need your backing plates cause these have there own.

Summit wheels take alot less grinding then prostars, i barely had to gring any to fit over my stock brakes. PM me with what you want for the drag brake setup please.

They're also 2x the static weight, made in China, and don't come in a correct backspace for a stock length rear end.
