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....

Re: Weld ProStar XP question as of right now, the pro star xp's do not come with any backspacing larger than 6" this means they will stick past the fenders on anything larger than the 8" rim... correct?
