Default guys with draglights come in!

had couple of questions , I never had drag wheels on my camaro and my buddie has some dual bolt pattern draglights for ford and chevy. Just rims alone no spacers , washers , lugnuts ... What would i need to do to have them bolted on. I know you have to grind the calipers and stuff .. Im looking to get these things a.s.a.p .. I should be putting the nitrous kit on the car this week end and then right shortly the draglights to make some good passes down the HRP track ... If there is any pics of cars with draglights on also feal free to post them up!

ps: i DiD do search this time and found nothing! lol

+1. Size and backspacing are necessary to tell you if you can make it work.

15 x 3.5, 1.75 BS
I put 5/16" spacers on there (cheap universal ones) and they required no grinding. I did put on 2.5" ARP studs. I sold them before ever buying the rears.

Nothing, just bolted them on. These are the ones I was telling you about when you were looking to trade. These are 16x8 and fit without doing a damn thing. Man I can't remeber where I got the hash mark stripes. Do a search and it will come up. Sorry bro that was about 4 years ago when I got them.

Does Weld make those? I didn't know you could get them in a 16x8 that will clear stock calipers.

They used to. They clear without doing **** but putting them on. You have to search for them though. The don't make new ones in this size. Don't know why, I broke both axles on 16" mt et-streets with these lol. I guess I need a 12 bolt. They are Weld Draglite XP's. They weight about 1 lb more than 15's but worth it not having to grind.
