Default 16" weld pro-star question

i have a pair of 16" WPS- my question is can i make them fit without grinding the caliper? I have some 5/16ths spacers, but it still hits. would it be possible to add a 1/4" spacer in addition to the 5/16th one? stock lugs too.

I'm just curious why you didn't get the Draglite XP's if you were wanting 16's. I think the Pro Stars definitely look better, but the XP's will bolt right up.
I don't know how much grinding you'll have to do with a set of the 16's. I do know that the 15x8 Pro Stars took a LOT of grinding and a spacer to fit.

XP's are heavier.
I wouldnt put a 1/4" spacer on top of the 5/16.
Too risky. You could sheer off a lug or 2 and you'd be FUCT.

Roy, you know you pretty much can't run two spacers. If they rub even with 5/16 spacers you need to do some grinding.
