Default What rear drag brakes with Champion wheels?

I have a stock length 12 bolt rear end. I like the way the Champion wheels look and been wanting to buy the rear's only on a 15X10 7.5BS. I know I would have to change my rear brakes but I never found a concrete answer as to which drag brakes clear those wheels. I have emailed Champion and no response back. There is a member here that was running those wheels but he had a narrowed rear end with different BS. Which brakes will fit the Champion wheels (single beadlock) with that BS?

my stranges clear, I think katie told me aerospace will sometimes hit but its just the outisde corner of the pad, a little 30* angle on the corner of the pad backing plate is all that needed.

Strange has by far the best brakes and best fitment of any setup on a 15" wheel. Quality is second to none and the reason why most of the professional NHRA/IHRA/NMCA racers use Strange brakes.

Strange also has a killer promotion going on right now that offers a 150.00 discount and We give free shipping as well on a complete front and rear set.

Give us a call and we will be more than happy to help anyone out on the best parts and best prices!

What a "Strange" question! lol. I couldn't help it. I'm a dork!

I love my Strange brakes. I'm just now switching the fronts from stock alm SN95 brakes to Strange. There stuff is top notch quality.

Anyone running a double beadlock on a 15x10, 7.5" BS with strange drag brakes? Looks like my measurement from center of axle to caliper is right at 6.5" which is the max. That only would leave 1/16" clearance?

Strange is telling me they're rear brakes are 13.1875 overall...per the drawing, the beadlock will clear but the inner barrel won't. Hell, I dunno.
