I have also seen pics here of another white ta that was slammed on 325's with little to no rubbing

Okay so I have a 2000 WS6 T/A and if I order a set of Bogarts 15-10 but with the 7.0 B/S they would stick out approx. 1/2 inch and fit without major mods to vehicle. i allready have the Strange brakes front and rear. Or does the Bogarts with the 7.5 B/S just made slightly different then the weld pro stars? Thanks for you feed back. Car look killer..

Let me make it clear that this is an LT1 car. I strongly beleive that it doesn't make a difference though. Also, I have set the suspension up on this car to hook on a drag radial with maximum bite. The rear axle has actually been moved forward a slight distance. Not too noticeable by looking at it but, makes a big difference in weight transfer when the rest of the car is set up right (pinion angle, instant center, vehicle ride height, weight distribution) . So since I did this, it was a must that I cut a major section of the inner wheel well on the front side of the rear tires.
Also, there are no rear wheel spacers on this car. Minor caliper grinding required.

Heres a tip....
If you set up your suspension on your car and lets say you put 3-4 degrees of pinion angle in it when all said and done and you do not compensate for the 3-4 degrees of rake that the actual vehicle and the rest of the driveline has in it, how much pinion angle do you actually have ?
Anyone?

I'm running 28W on Bogarts, and they fit great. I have the car slammed right down on the tire. Since the Bogarts are like a 7.0 backspace, they are kicked out a bit more and that negates the need for a spacer. I'll try to mount my 325's on my spare rims and post some pics next week.

I didn't roll the fender on mine, stock ride height. It's pretty close on the back, but no rubbing that I've noticed. The caliper grinding for the wheels was more work than the hammering for the tires. Cutting the bumb stop mounts isn't all that bad either.
