Have to grind calipers some with new Bogarts Looks like they are rubbing slightly. I am sure these are way better than others. I have to move the wheel weights as well, they hit the calipers. Then ill be good to go.

That sucks. SJM claims that 90% fit w/o caliper grind, but they do acknowledge that some customers may have minor fitment issues. Oh well, they are the best drag wheel on the market so it wouldn't bother me if i had to grind the stock calipers down a tad.
but were already ground for cheap *** welds

Its a 7/16th spacer, I dont think their all that thick at all.. Also, I have ARP 3.250" studs for it now. I am pretty sure that setup will be fine.
