I'm having trouble with getting my new drag wheels to fit over my sn-95 front brake parts. I have some 15x4 centerline telstars that have 1.625" backspacing. The problem is that the backs of the rims hit the anti-moan brackets BADLY; wheels don't even come close to the face of the rotor. I'm pretty sure they'd still hit the calipers even if I ground the brackets down a little. Do I have any options outside of spacers and longer wheels studs? My next problem is, that I'm worried the wheels may stick out a bit with the spacer; I have '96 front spindles which I've heard are a little wider than the '94-'95 pieces. Any suggestions?

As far as I know, the only other option outside of spacers is to actually cut that entire bracket off. I know a lot of people have done this without any problems, but I never felt quite right about chopping mine off so I used spacers. Even if you use a fairly small spacer, you may be able to get away with just grinding that bracket down rather than taking it completely off.

I took the bar off, ground the caliper down and STILL had to use spacers. Just get the right spacer.
