Yes, I've got your phone number. Also, check-out this link and the No-E finals from last Saturday. Almost!

almost any skinny fits if you go with the 1.75" backspacing. Though Bogart's, or the XP series from Weld are designed for larger brakes, I have LS1 front brakes on my car and i run the M/T ET Drag front without a problem

I Know This Is Old But I've Come To The Stage Where I Either Want To Research Drag Brakes Or Solutions To Making Drag Type Wheels Work With The Stockers. Basically It Seems As Though A 5/16 Spacer Is All That's Needed But Doesn't It Caouse The Wheels To Stick Out In The Front? Or, Is It Moe Or Less The Size And Type Of Tires Being Used That Makes Them Look That Way?

Please remember also that the Bogarts are NOT recommended for street use. They are extremely light; one curb and they're junk! Holeshot makes a nice wheel like the Bogarts that is lighter than the Welds. Very hight quality wheel. I had the Holestar model on my '95 Impala SS and they cleared that set-up just fine. I plan to use them on my Z28 as well. Also, I drove them on the street a couple times and they lived under the 4,000 lb. B-body.

There is an FAQ stickied at the top of the Wheels & Tires forum topic page, which includes a post which answers your questions in detail.
