What do I need to get Weld Draglites to fit? I have a set of Weld Draglite 15x3.5 front and 15x8 in back. What do I need to get these to fit on my 2001 Camaro with a Molser 12 bolt. What size spacers do I need if any? They weer on a third gen camaro before but im not sure if the previous owner used spacers.

You will need a grinder. Rotors are bigger on 4th Gens so wheels which fit on older 3rd Gens won't fit on 4th Gens because of the larger circumference rotors (12 inches on rear). Because of the larger rotors the calipers rub on the inside of the rims. Grinding the calipers removes enough metal from the caliper so the rim will fit as explained in link below.
