Default How to get 13" wheels over GSR brake rotors...?

I want to run 13" wheels with drag slicks but they wont fit over my GSR brakes... Ive heard that with a spacer you can make it work. Anyone know the validity of that?

I cant see how a spacer will allow you run 13s, unless the inside of the rim is tapered, then a 13" rim will not fit. The only way i could see 13s fitting is by shaving down the caliper 0.5" (which i personally wouldnt want to do!!!)

yeah what kind of rims are you using? lenso's will fit over the GSR brakes, as far as bogarts, you need a spacer, and if your going to use a spacer, it would be advised that you have extended wheel studs

yes you need to get longer wheels studs if you use spacers. The lensos will fit the GSR stock brakes just fine. Bogart, you need spacers in some, unless you order them with the built in spacer in the wheel. Any questions let me know. We sell alot of these DRAG Wheels.

Well, these slicks are mounted on 13" steelies so I guess ill have to stick with street tires for now. Thanks for the help guys.

In which case, run into your garage, and get a sawzall and a blowtorch, and start choppin away, because as of right now, they just plain WONT fit..
