Not this damn wheel drama again....Everyone has wanted a set of Greg Welds at one point it seems like only to be let down in the end that they just won't fit. Then up again on promises of a wheel that would clear that never came to be

Yes i do have a set. I have 15x3.5 up front and i have 15x10's in the rear. But yes they do fit with some grinding. The rears that i have are not the correct backspacing; the backspacing that i have is correct for a mustang, but the new set that i am ordering tomorrow or friday will be the correct 7.5 backspacing. These are stated as being the correct backspacing from the dealer that i am ordering them from. He said they are to be delivered to him in about 3-4 weeks and then will take about 4 days to ship out to me. The new company is the ones that are selling the new style with the correct 7.5 backspacing.

Haha i know right. I just did the grinding on the calipers last night. So they are still bare metal. they will be getting primed and painted. Depending on the the new design i might be buying a new caliper for this side if the others fit with no grinding.

Stock width axles need a 7.5 BS with 15x10s and 5.5bs for 15x8s. I just wish I didnt have to grind so much to get them to fit. Ill prob end up buying drag brakes if I keep these, even thoough the stock calipers seem to still be prety stout except the slide bolt pockets

yes the new set that i am ordering is going to have the 7.5 backspacing but i am keeping the set of 15x10 with the 5.5 backspacing for when i get my new shortened rear end. Whenever that might be.
The slide pockets were my only worry as well. But it was only the far tip and a little bit where the rubber boots lip hooked onto the caliper bracket. I didnt have to take that much off though so im not to worried about it. Maybe the 93 LT1 rear calipers were just a little bit smaller that the later models. Not sure maybe i just got lucky.
