Just talked to them and that's a true story. Kinda funny that I was all set on the RT-S wheels and excited about getting them, then see the Champions and loved them. Now I'm all disappointed they won't fit and will maybe have to go back to the RT-S.

Technically, anyone know how close the "low pad" type wheels are from clearing? Katie at Champion said their wheels have an 1/8" pad but for an extra fee could use the rear wheel pad that would make it 1/2" to 5/8". Are we talking about 1/4" from clearing or an inch?? If they're close to clearing I may just run a spacer until i get the drag brakes.

Ordered the Champion speed series with the black anodized center, 15x3.5 with 2.25 bs. I think it will go well with the gold car and black top. I will run a spacer until I get my drag brakes.

Thanks for all the advice.
