We are a dealer for these wheels. They will clear drag brakes on a 4th gen. We have not tried them on stock brakes.
I have not seen too many double beadlock wheels on stock brakes anyway.

I know ideally it would be better if I had drag brakes with these but I have stock brakes grinded for Prostars. Wonder how those would work? Temporarily but maybe for one season? Just wouldn't want to order and them not fit even on grinded stock brakes.

You can also change my rear tires by yourself with the single beadlock wheels. I do it pretty easy with no tools besides the ratchet for the bead bolts.

subscribing, these look pretty good...
BTW, it has been asked before, but not answered, what are the benefit of going double beedlock over single? I know some of the guys I am building my car to compete with are running beedlocks to keep the tires (low 9's on 275 radials) in check. but not sure if they are running double or single locks...

Hey guys, I was looking around that site and found this:
Brake Clearance
I.D. of 15'' inner beadlock is 13.250. It is our recommendation that you CHECK CALIPER SIZE for clearance prior to purchasing a double beadlock for a 15" wheel. An easy way to do this is measure from the center of the axle to the outermost edge of the brake caliper. If this distance is less than 6.5", a double beadlock will clear your breaks without any problem.
Hope that helps you guys, wondering if they will fit stock brakes...

I 'd agree, but the question was asked, at least as far as the rim is concerend. This should give people and idea of the rim (which should have a little more room than the lock) for those not wanting the beadlock or doubles for that matter...

So if i am wanting to use my grinded stock calipers, i need to measure from the center of the axle to the tallest point of the caliper? Id really like to get these even if i had to switch to a LT1 rear brake. I just bought a Moser 9" and have to get new wheels so drag brakes arent in the budget right now. next season though.
