Ive got a dilemma and could use some help/insight. I like the look of Draglites on an LX. A 15" wheel won't fit over my new 13" front brake rotors. I believe they used to make 17" Draglites but I can't find them anywhere. I've also seen pics where too large a diameter Draglite looks retarded! Is there another 8 hole wheel that would match the 15" rear Draglite or is there another style wheel that would look decent up front with 15" Dls on the back? Any ideas? Thank you!

A large spacer may be all that's needed. Something like 1". Do you actually have a wheel to try?

There are also special drag rims that will clear, but they are somewhat expensive. Bogarts I believe.

Or you could swap the front brakes to 99-04 GT 2-piston PBR's and 10.9" brakes.

Just to throw in a personal favorite of mine, have you looked at Billet Specialties Street Lites? They come in a 17" size with just about any backspacing you could need.

Look at these http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/mini-tub-in-progress.889524/page-2
