Weld wheels to fit over 13" Brakes

[GTWayne]

Anyone know if ProStars or Draglites (normal or Xp) in 15x3.5 with 1.75" BS will fit over Bullitt/Cobra 13" brakes?

With a 7/16 and a 5/16 spacers. About 3/4 of an inch. Might need to grind a little!

Silver88Gt,
Was that with the regular ProStars or the XPs? I'm also assuming that's 7/16 up front and 5/16 spacer on the rear?
What did you do about studs? Did you have to install longer ones and what length? What about lug nuts, the ones supplied by Weld?
Thanks.

Did you ever try this?

my friend used a .625 and still had to grind the caliper some

he does have longer wheel studs which you will need

Thanks, I'm assuming the backspacing of the wheel will have some effect too?

i saw in muscle mustang or 5.0 that weld has a 17" skinny coming out to clear big brake kits. pretty sweet and alot easier than grinding or using spacers.

Are you talking about the XP's? I thought those were discontinued?

They are. I ordered 4 from Summit but only 2 were shipped to me. I called them up to ask WTF was going on and they said those 2 were the only 2 left. I called up Weld and they didn't have any either. I shipped them back to Summit and got my refund after a lot of bitching. This was about 10 months ago.
