Default Skinnies??? Questions.

First, which or is there a 15" wheel that will fit on the LS1 front without having to grind the brake caliper?

And if there is which size - 15x4, 15x31/2 or 15x5??

I'm looking at the Weld Pro Stars, Center Line Convo Pro and the Center Line Auto Drag.

Any and all input is appreciated ... Thanks, Mike

15x3.5 weld draglites along with a spacer and you dont have to grind anything up front... that is what mostly everyone runs... however no matter what you will have to grind the rear for 15's to fit....
