So i got my draglites today and they are hitting my brake caliper bolts and the antirattle clips...has anybody has any problems like this with yours. The car has stock brakes and is four lug and the rims are either 5 or 6 inches wide. I got them off my friends 84GT because he went 5 lug and he had no problems...... any advice would be great

It happens sometimes. Sometimes you have to take a grinder to them real quick.

Sold my 15x7s to a 4 banger guy for the same reasons. Plus they made an awful clicking sound when I turned while backing up. Had to run 1/8th inch spacers on the front even after grinding the snot out of the caliper and bolts. Got 15x7 1/2 Centerline Convi-pros. Problem solved and they looked better too!

I had the same problem with my 87 GT and my old 93 LX. Rims fit with a little bolt grinding on the 87 but when I tried to install them on my 93 I had your problem. They wouldn't go on the rear even!

Kept the ponies on the 93 and sold it and left the DL on the 87. My 92 had no problems with Welds, no grinding nuthin'! Go figure!!!

LOL, i was wondering why the 3 1/2's i got from my buddys 93 lx were all scarred up on the back. They seem to fit my 90 gt with no probs, but i'll pull em off in a week or so and see if the gouges got any bigger. I'm posative they will live though, the gouges are only about 1/16th deep, but still, it bugs me to know they did hit at one time.
