Default Low pad Weld RTS clear strange drag brakes up front

Ive got strange drag brakes on the front and I'm wanting to run the RTS in a low pad so they will tuck in the front fenders well, just can't find out if the low pad will clear the strange brakes, let me know fellas, thanks

If the caliper does not extend past rotor hat and the rotor diameter is 11.75", you will not have an issue.

Here is low pad RTS I use with 11.75" rotors using the Wilwood kit:

If they clear OEM LS1 brakes with a little grinding they should clear Strange brakes with no modifications. If your vehicle is already equipped with Strange front drag brakes you can order the low-pad RTS wheel and test fit it without mounting a tire, and if it does not clear can send it back to Weld.
