backspacing for MT ET drag wheels skinnies

**huggerz28** · 05-15-2007, 07:59 AM

Just wondering if anyone knows the backspacing to run with the MT ET drag wheels on the front skinnies? they are available in 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 backspacing, so just wondering which is the better way to go?

2.25

My ProStars are 1.75" BS.
Then spaced out 5/8" to clear the calipers without rubbing.

I will have to double check.

5/8" on stock wheels studs won't even bolt up.

My convo pros didn't require any grinding, front or rear

When I installed new front pads, I had to get the grinder out again... Bummer.. Are you running 15" ?

Even without the spacer I don't think the ProStars would go on stock wheel studs.

I have ARP 3.25" studs on all four corners.

sure they will. the center is the same on the drag lites and pro stars. i use a 5/32" spacer with stock studs.

I would have failed tech that way. Guy checked the wheel studs.
Even though the shank lugs will fit, I like having the longer, stronger studs in there. Reassurance I guess.

no problem being safe. yeah, if we ever had real tech, i wouldn't pass either. the rules say the stud has to be at least even with the top of the lugnut.
