I got draglites, now what do I need to bolt them on? I just got some draglites and tires but I didn't get anything with them. 15x3.5 in the front and 15x10 in the back. I know I have to grind the calipers in the back too and that I have to run spacers on the front and the back. What size spacers do I need though, are they 5/16"s on the front and back? Also, I need lugs & washers, what kind do I need & would any local shop have them? What about studs? I guess replace the back ones with 2 1/2" ARPs but do I need to change out the front studs? thanks

5/16 spacers front and rear. Weld lugs for the drag lites. They areshnk style lugs and specific to the wheel. Also longer ARP studs front AND rear. Studs are cheap and the fronts are a peice of cake to change. No reason not to do this.

I'm running Draglites front and back without any spacers but only 8"s on the rears. The fronts didn't take much grinding but the rears took about an hour and a half each, 10"s will need more. I'm not a fan of spacers and rather grind a little more instead.

Where did you get the longer ARP studs? All I see is 2 1/2" ARP studs and everyone says I need 3" but no one seems to know where to get them at.
