You said u used spacers on the back and ground the front calipers........
I thaught it was SAFER to use spacers on the front and GRIND the back b/c of the load applied when under accleration puts a pretty large load on the studs.
It looks good anyway! But I would put some stronger and longer studs on the rear!

so the 15x10s with a spacer fit the back with no grinding?
could i run a nitto DR on a rim like that?
and will the fronts fit with a spacer, no grinding?
or would it look really gay if i used an XP up front?

the rears need grinding either way.. just waay too much grinding without the spacer and just a regulaor (whole bunch) with the spacer
fronts dont need grinding at all with the spacer.

Yes you can run a drag radial on Prostars. If you want to run a nitto you'll need 15X8 though, not 15X10..there are some big BFG dr's that will fit a 15X10 or like a Sportsman would work. The 275/60/15 Nitto on a 15X8 is a nice combo..

I have 15x3 fronts, with a spacer.. How much grinding was it, and where was the grinding? It does look crappy.

well i'm kinda weird i guess, i like the way it looks with the fronts sticking out a bit..my fronts have spacers, but still a little bit of grinding.
i'd rather have them stick out than take material off the calipers that handle most of the stopping power..

the fronts that you grind, you arent actually hurting the caliper itself. it doesnt mess with the application of how the brakes work. just shaving a thick part of the brake. otherwise no one would do it. ofcourse i just run a spacer and it works like a charm.
