Weld ProStar XP question ok, a few questions
If I get the 16" will i have to do anything to my rear brake calipers (grind them?) ? How about the front...
Also looking at welds website I didn't see any skinnies available in 16x3.5 or 16x4.0 , do they not make them? Should I just put some 15s up front? Will I have to grind the calipers?

Re: Weld ProStar XP question Whorist:
I ran 15x3.5's up front with spacers for two years. In back I ran 16x8's with Nitto DR's, and 16x9/6.5 with 11.6x26x16 ET Streets. The rears require NO work to the brakes.
Here is a pic of me cutting a 1.57 on the 16x9 XP's a few years ago with 18lbs of air in the rears....
