I have an 00 Z with a currently being built 6 speed, spec 3 clutch, strange axle with 4.10 gears, and a full spool. I recently bought a pair of 15x3.5 pro star front runners for 200 bucks from a friend. I was looking to buy a complete set, but i couldn't pass up the deal. They came with a set of MT sportsman tires with decent tread. My question is this, what wheels and tires can i put on the rear WITHOUT any grinding or modifcations to make them clear the rear calipers? I know there are issues with the pro stars on the rear and the clearance issues. The goal i have for my car, is to not modify the car in any way that i have to cut, grind, or remove, (other than a cage which i have to have to run) and keep full interior. I want the wheels to be a direct bolt on and go. I have the stock bolt pattern on the rear, no studs, so that i can run the zr1's or be able to bolt on the ET streets and go to the track. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Weld Racings R/T line will fit over stock brakes in a 15x10 7.5" backspace. There are 12 designs to choose from.

and why the 7 and half back spacing?

Because that's the size that fits stock width rear ends without them sticking out and/or not rubbing on the inside. You want a wheel that isn't going to require grinding? You're going to have to drop some coin on them. Why do you think so many guys just deal with grinding and run a Prostar setup? Because a few hours of work is more suitable for some people than paying 450+ for a wheel. Trust what Mr. 396 has to say... the guy knows his ****... especially when it comes to stuff like this. Good luck, man.

+1. I spent about 5 hours grinding my rear calipers and have a 5/16" spacer for my prostars... Probably going to sell them off and pick up something that fits a little better whenever an opportunity presents itself.

lol.... I had to do the same thing. Ground one side and then the other and seem to fit fine 'till I got it on the road. Rubbed. Did it again and again untill finally cleared. Probably spent 4 hours grinding. It sucked, but they fit now. Grinding calibers is a bitch but I saved some money with the Prostars.

I think if you are going to be putting a cage in your car, grinding on the calipers won't hurt anything. You can paint right back over them and not even notice they have been grinded. It took about 2 hours to grind all of my cailpers and repaint them. I'm not running spacers either. I have the summit stars. Minimum grinding to get them to fit.

I think you should just buy a full set of Bogarts. And then I will buy the front runners and tires from you for the $200 that you paid. Win-win!
