Just got done puttin in my tubular k, a arms, drag springs and doin the sn95 front brake swap and when i went to bolt my wheel on it smacked the caliper bracket. I've got ProStar skinnys but i didnt think there'd be any kinda fitment problem. Now i gotta decide whether to yank the 95 stuff and put mark VII rotors on or if i'm gonna dish out the cash for a whole new set of wheels. After workin on this thing most of the nite after work and havin somethin like this set me back I'm steamin......anyone got any advice??

Maybe try a set of spacers. How much more clearance do you need? I read in an old 5.0 Mustang mag about a company grinding down (clearencing) the outside of the caliper just enough to make a three piece 18" rim fit over Cobra PBR calipers. This could be a possible option.
