Default SHOW ME your Ground Calipers!

Ok, I did a search, and could not find any pictures of front & rear calipers ground down for fit drag rims. Please show'em off if ya got them! And if you could include the type of wheels and wether or not you are running spacers. Remember this is for pictures.

ProStockJohn feel free to show them bad boys off! You too Tony.

I just got a set of Centerline Auto drags for the car and boy do they take alot of grinding! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
Thanks,
Ryan Karasek

That's whats required to run a 15x8 prostar with 5.5" backspacing and a 5/16" spacer over the rear calipers. What I did is put grease on the inside of the wheel, torque it down, spin it a couple of times, and see where it left grease on the caliper. Grind on those spots until no more grease gets on the calipers.
