I have a thread about my experience about 3 inches down. My advice would be to not even try it.

what bigj said but really some people say they barely grind the cailpers and some say they have to grind the heck out of em so it really depends on your car. now with the width you wanna run i think those will fir after you BFH the car and grind the bump stops but then that depends on the width of tires you run

I followed the instructions in the above thread and went completely through the caliper; it was still rubbing. Make sure your pads are well-worn (and therefore thinner) instead of new like mine were.

Of you could just buy Welds new street wheels, they clear OEM LS1 calipars and are pretty fairly priced.

Race Star Industries (Greg Weld Wheels) http://www.racestarindustries.com/

Greg Weld wheels is no more. So you won't ever get a "Greg Weld" wheel again. Well if you happen to be after one, you are in luck. RSI has bought the design and molds for the Greg Weld wheels. They have redesigned the front of the wheel slightly, most wont even notice the changes. But more importantly, the rear of the wheel has been reshaped to FIT over stock LS1 brakes. I have personally had these wheels installed on stock brakes. Look for them to come out in the next couple months. They will not be sold at summit/jegs. Instead check with ls1tech sponsors first. If not, your local mom/pa wheel store will be your choice. I'm sure you will have questions, so ask away! Please refer to the wheels as Race Star's and not Greg Welds. [quote]
