i am going to run this in the front

15x8, 5.5 backspacing with a spacer. Any grinding needed?

I know that 16x8 XP Draglites will fit up front.

I'm concerned as to whether 15x8's will fit up front, please keep us posted

Sal2KZ28

Why would 16X8s fit up front but not 15X8s. I will get them this weekend.

Then we will know for sure.

If they do not fit I will just buy some 15X6s for the front

Because we have bigger brakes in the front.

I have a friend with 15" XP's and they needed grinding too.

Sal2KZ28

Oh okay bigger brakes, was he running a spacer in the front?

15x8's on the front, even with a spacer will require MAJOR grinding.

I suggest using what John said:

Front:
15x3.5, 5/16 spacer

I want to drive around on them all the time. This will be a weekend only not daily driver. Now the guy I want to buy the draglites from wants to jackup the price after he posted that he lowered the price. I may just buy some 14X6

I don't think 14" rims will even think about working. Don't our cars have 12-13" rotors + the width of caliper?

Sal2KZ28

Just checking my options Richard do you still want to trade rear calipers?

anyhing wider than 4" non xp will require grinding in front even with the 5/16 spacer.. if i recall my searches correctly.

I had some draglites 15X4 on the front last year and I am sure we had to grind some. I will need to check when I get home. I haven't driven my car in over a year.
