95 Mustang front brake and Weld wheel issue

7423 · 08-24-2008, 12:15 AM

Using Weld Draglites on my stocker in progress. Installed a set of 3" studs in the hubs, attempted to mount the wheel and found that it take 1/2" spacer to clear the wheel from the very fat OEM caliper. This will not work as now I do not have enough thread engagement in the lug nut. I guess I will be looking at new aftermarket billet thin body calipers. On many of the Mustangs websites, there is talk of grinding the caliper body and using spacers, not my cup of tea. Anyone out there have or had this problem??
Thanks in advance............
