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?

Sorry bud this is common with Telstars you need a 1/4 spacer and longer studs to get the job done.

Thanks. I'm assuming guys just remove the little protruding bar on the anit-moan brackets?

I had to use a 3/8 spacer to clear my centerlines.
