You need to keep grinding. Theres a thread that has detailed pics. Use the search.

I used 3.25 ARP studs and 5/16 spacers in the front and didn't need to grind any. The back is a different story.

If you have a LT1 they shouldn't take much grinding at all, got any pics? You could be grinding the completely wrong area...mine didn't take much grinding at all.

+1. It doesn't take alot to fit. I run the draglites.

Just a little bit up front and most of the cooling fins in the rear.

With a 28 tire yes, if it is a ET Street or bias ply tire your probably going to have to trim the lip. PS Take pics I wanna see how that tire looks, its what Im buying next.

You don't need that big of a tire with a bolt on LT1
