15" wheel/slick combo Hey guys,
Just finished up doing a brake swap on my Grand National, stock G-body to F-body (LS1) disks. I am running 17" wheels for the street and don't have an issue with clearance on the new calipers, but my 15" Welds won't clear the calipers on the rear (not worried on the fronts right now). What wheel do you guys run for the needed clearance of the caliper? Does Weld make a 15" wheel that has added clearance for this issue?
Thanks for the help.

Thats the problem with those discs, i believe the only 15's that will fit without grinding are the bogarts. Grind away and good luck! Then sell the gn to my gf, she wants one bad.

Crap, brand new calipers, hate to go grinding on them.
How about 16" wheels? Clearance issues with those? I'd like to stick with the 15s for the side wall, but might opt for 16s if it comes down to it.
Thanks for the help.
You wouldn't want your GF to outrun you with a 6 banger would ya!!! J/k Fun car but lots of work, I have thought many times of going to an LS1.
