Drag wheels FAQ!! Pics
Drag wheels FAQ!! Pics This is for a 15x10 drag wheels, and Hoosier 28"11.5" tires. (some of the pics here are not mine)
well first of all Im the kind of person who likes to upgrade my car instead of taking pieces off that will
make it unsafe to drive.. But in my case and most of the guys out there, we cant afford a new set of breaks and bunch of stuff more just to put the wheels on right? so the mods I got to deal with are basically 3: grind the calipers, install new studs (I actually didnt need to install studs right away, but Is required when using spacers) and clearance the inner fender so the tire do not rub...
So with the calipers the idea is to create a continuous radius, most of the grinding is done at the top and the bottom of the brackets
I used white acrilic paint to put on the grinded part and put the wheel on to see where you need to keep grinding, I actually did this tons of times to remove the exact amount, but using spacers will help to cut down the amount of grinding. I used 1/8 and some other guys use 5/16", In most cases" using spacers in the front (5/16") require no caliper grinding. (but longer studs as soon as you can)
To Clearance the Inner fender I used a big hammer and hit the hell our of the fender wall- -, The real problem was the bump stop and the rear control arm
the tire kept rubbing there until I took it to a place and have them fix the problem also rubbing on the rear arms on the turns so I replaced them for jegsters adjustables.

Please note that All these mods just gave me time to get new set of brakes, studs, etc...

These
and in the front nothing else but grind
