Tires and spacer questions So I got some draglites for the front, 4.5" wide I think? What tires should I get, I intend to drive approx. 2 hours one way to the track on them.
I don't want to grind my calipers down either, how large of a spacer do I need to run up front? Any recommendations?
I have thought about running a spacer in the rear also, but all the time, while using my draglites and also when using my 16" ZR1s. Is there a 3/4" or 1" spacer that would work with both? I don't like how far the wheels look tucked in.
I have already installed extended ARP studs in the back and have them sitting here for the front.
Also I want to get centercaps for these draglites, front and back are 15" wheels. I see they make different sizes, which size is right for 15s?
Thanks for all the help, want to get this all ordered and taken care of so I can hit the track while the weather is still cool.

Did a quick search, didn't find any recommended spacers. What's the story? How about what tire I could drive on?
I know there is some draglite users on here, what can I run for a spacer, front and back, on extended ARP studs? Anybody have a link?
Will I need to grind the front calipers even with a spacer? The studs I have are 1" longer than stock I think. I know I got the shorter out of the two options on TR's website.

i wouldnt say useless, but its not as safe
a friend of mine had a camaro many years ago and was running longer studs with spacers...
was going around a S curve, and lost 1 of his wheels, the studs had enough stress on them they broke
