AND.....

they hit the calipers....

I have Wilwood HD drag brakes on the rear of the car. I already had those ground down a bit too, for the 15x10 w/ 7.5" BS pro stars. i hated grinding the fancy caliper

but these hit EVEN worse. I don't think there would be a way i could safely grind these down anymore.

BUT the rims look ****!!!! even with no tire on it.

I needed new rotors and pads anyways, so I might as well get a Strange kit and hope that the caliper is smaller(it does look smaller in pictures)

awesome...

i can't see some of the pics, so are the rears 1 piece or 3 piece? (got to get rid of the "-1" right before the file extension .jpeg

i was told that the 1-piece is a completely different design on the back half of the rim, and that is why you can't get the 3 piece is anything under a 15x14 now.

so the 1 piece fits everything fine.
