Default 15" wheels any other caliper options w/o grinding

Is there any calipers we can buy so I don't have to grind mine to fit 15" wheels.

So if I install just the caliper it won't hit? Can you install these on a stock rotor? Thanks

these are all race brakes... stock rotor=stock caliper. if you don't wanna mess with the brakes then buy a set of Bogarts and be done with it. it'll be about the same cost either way.

or buy some centerline warrior rims 15x8.5 they will clear the rear calipers without grinding.

I have also heard of centerline wheels bolting up without any issues. I run draglites but switched to LT1 front spindles and calipers and modified my rears on a lathe and a mill. I went from a 12" rotor in the rear and turned it down to a 11.5" and then used a mill to put a new mounting hole 1/4" up from the old one in the caliper bracket to bring it closer to the rotor. Still had to grind front and rear calipers. Very little though. I paid 70 bucks for the front spindles and calipers at a junk yard and the rest was free. I had access to a mill and lathe. A local machine shop should be able to do it fairly easily. Good luck with what ever you chose. 15's Look badass on F-bodies.
