  • front runners

    Well today I bought front runners from this guy that had a 87 camaro I have a 2002 ta ws6 the guy said they fit on his brothers 98 ta that wasnt a ws6. but anyways I went to go mount them and they didnt fit the caliper was hiting the rim and the studs didnt even go through the holes so I took them back and he was stunned just asmuch as I was they were draglites by weld. but my ? is this is it because its the ws6 package that they wont fit and if it is could you tell me the right size to buy so I can order them this week thanks

                sometimes they will fit with a 5/16 spacer without grinding.
                look on ls1tech for more info

                  i think the CenterLine Convo Pro's fit with out grinding, however they stick out, and look rather un attractive.

                  the guy was probably just bullshittin ya, for any 4th gen you have to do what larry showed, ARP wheel studs and grind your calipers, or get some nice strange or aerospace brakes

                    it appears that the jegs sports stars fit without spacers or grinding in the front. They are a litttle heavy though

                        315 can be mounted but are UNSAFE
                        don't do it.
                        get a 275 et street radial if your gonna run the stock size wheel for drag racing

                              they should. most use a 5/16 spacer which is not needed with those they should be pretty much in the same spot as a 15x3.5
