Getting 15in draglites to fit....

I grinded the hell out of my calipers today, they are now about level with the screws that hold the wheel on. Is this enough grinding? I wont be able to put a 15in wheel on for a few days so...... Last time i trued to ut some 15s on they didnt fit with the spacer, then i put two washers on as well and they still didnt fit. I sure hope they fit now, lol.

You mean rear calipers? All I needed to do was take the "corners" of the fins off.

Your brakes are different from mine, LS1 brakes are larger.

Well I put my 4 inch back spacing 15 inch old school vette wheels on 98 Z28 and all he needed to do what just grind that little ear off and they would have worked. I am not say 100% but I can also promise you the 15's will work since you ground that little ear off. Good luck, what kinda tires are you going to put on them? Just an idea I run my ET Streets everywhere on 67 SS. And after 8 months of road use and drag racing they still have plenty of meat left on them. ET Streets are the best.
