My sources say Yes. You can run spacers which will require less grinding too (probably need longer studs with the spacers). Bogarts are supposed to be direct fit, but that doesn't help much now...

P.S. My source is the search button ^^^^

Yeah, you have to grind.

I believe the only wheels that allow you to get away with no grinding are the bogarts and the centerline convo pros.

No grinding at all with spacers, and I'd recommend you get longer ARP wheel studs.

I have weld draglites on my ta. I run a 5/16th spacer with the ARP 3.25 studs. You can get a 5/16 spacer from Autozone, Murray's, Advance Auto, etc etc. The studs i'm sure you could get from any sponsor on here.
