ls1 brakes? Drag Wheels?
im sure there are alot of people out there running ls1 brakes and drag wheels. I dont want to grind calipers to fit a drag wheel. Any wheels out there that can achieve this for me?

Re: ls1 brakes? Drag Wheels?
i had to grind the he// out of my calipers to fit on my welds. one other thing i did was put a 1/8 thick washer between the caliper bracket and bracket mounting pad. i also elongated those bolt holes a little to shift the caliper down. look at this video. looks like this guy did the same thing. i'm sure that is not why his wheel fell off. but his car is LT1. at 0:41 you can see a closeup of the caliper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwms7...eature=related

I was looking into putting some skinnies on the front of mine but I have C5 Brakes... Only way is to use GTO spare tires to clear. Lots of C5 guys do it I guess. Seems a lil weird to me though.
