*Does anyone know if the Billet Specialties 15x3.5" will clear Cobra brakes without having to use a spacer (like the Welds)?

*Are these as light as the Weld ProStars?

I'm pretty sure that welds do not clear the cobra brake it.

I also talked to that guy larry on friday, and he informed me that the 15x10'' rears will not clear a cobra brake without some serious work because of the design of the billet specialties wheels. He says they are much harder to fit in the rear than draglites

I have the PBR calipers up front on my 88 GT with 96+ spindles using the Street Lite 15x3.5s. I needed a 7/16" spacer to clear. Still fit just inside the wheel well lip with a 1.75" drop. If I had used the 94-95 spindles I could use the .50" billet spacers that Billet Specialties offers and have even more clearance for both the caliper and wheel well lip.
