hey i just got these from summit racing. have them on 15x10 weld racing wheel. is there anyone running them and if so did you have to shave your brakes down to fit inside this rim. also were you able to run them on a 1" drop.

Yea, you'll have to do a good bit of grinding on the calipers to fit the rims. What backspacing did you get?

You may want to have the rear narrowed to get your wheels to tuck or get the right backspacing. I don't think you will be able to lower it much with them sticking out that far past the fender.

Yea, 325s are a big tire. They'd probably rub at stock height with that backspacing.

The springs are stock all the way around. The front uses the "Iron block 408" lowering mod! The back is stock with the isolators removed.
1998TA-Thanks,yeah that was me at the Irmo show. those guys put on a great show!
Bacardi-I did roll the lips, although I never had an issue on the street they did rub a little at the track BEFORE I rolled them. Now there is plenty of room...well maybe not plenty!

I had some 15x10's 7.5 BS and 325's on stock suspension and still had to roll the lip. Lots and lots of grinding and I even cut off the bump stops! good luck to you man.
