fwiw i would never run a spacer on the rears. besides it not being NHRA and IHRA legal, it is too much of a risk as far as the chances of breaking lugs (which i have seen happen way too many times). the size tires i have run with 7.5 BS are 295/50 BFG radials, 28x10.5 ET drags, and 28x14.5 Hoosier QTPs. it takes some work, but i had no rubbing problems with any of them. a 26" tire or a narrower tire will of course fit much easier

I can find nowhere in the NHRA rulebook where it says spacers are illegal. Please quote the page number and section.

May not be a spacer issue, but actually a stud length issue. I put in the ARP studs but I dont think they will pass tech on the front or the rear(without spacers). But this can be over come with longer studs; longer than the ARPs I got.

Does anybody make a metric stud that fits our front hubs that's longer than the ARP 2.5"? I've got to run a 1/4" spacer on the front with my Centerline Warriors and the ARP studs are long enough.
