To account for heat expansion of the brakes.
I grinded the calipers to fit the 15x10 ProStars without the spacer. But I run it since it is completely legal with NHRA rules and it makes sure I don't get any rubbing once the brakes get hot.
No spacers when I run the TTII's.
And the 27x11.5x15 Hoosiers clear everything without the spacers as well on the ProStars.

Tucking 325s. I rolled the quarters flat and slightly flared them.. i did the BFH on the inner wheel well and i also massaged the area above the bump stop. [this area where it bulges out some for spring. Besides that im only using a 1/8" spacer thats right 1/8". the rear is a stock LT1 rear. I will need to use tubular control arms along with adjustable panard bar. for the pics i disconnected panard bar and centerd rear up so i can fit wheels.
ok now onto pics
this pic shows the distance between wheel and wheel well
here is proof of tire size
ok pics of car with 300lbs in the rear so it will sit like this at ride height
just empty height again
car is gutted for time being since im rebuilding it
