Post Making draglites fit in the rear!

Well I installed the 15x8" rear draglites on my car today. Ran into just a few problems/complications.

1. I installed ARP 2.5" wheels studs and you cannot run closed ended lugnuts with these without running a spacer (atleaset 1/4"). I decided to run a spacer instead of running open ended lugnuts...for now atleast.

2. When running a 1/4" spacer you still have to grind a crap load. I thought I would never get them to stop rubbing!

But, when you finally get them mounted up they look freaking sweet!

I have mine ground so I dont need spacers, its a lot of grinding but most of the time is spent just taking the wheel off and on a zillion times. I have 2.5" studs and use open end lug nuts, the are nhra legal by like one thread but you can still use the stock capped lugs with the stock wheels so they work out pretty well..
