OK i think im going to get a 5.50 back spacing. Who makes spacer plates? im going to move it back out about 1/4 inch so it does not rub my 2 1/2 tail pipes. And what studs should i get? Thanks

the draglites are 1.5 inches wide and I had to replace my front studs to race at the track.

I have no tailpipes (dumps) and have a 8x15 rim with 5.5 backspace on back, and on the front I have 5x15 rim with a 3.5 backspace, I have svo calipers in the front and had to use a 1/4 inch spacer for the front.

rear tires 275-60-15 mickey thompson drag radials.
front tires 155-85-15 bf goodrich radials.

I bought some decent wheel spacers from ebay, but they wouldnt work with my stock studs because they were to short, so plan to upgrade, Im going to get 1/2in extended studs fairly soon

I think i have some 5/16 or 7/16 spacers laying around, planned to use them, but not apted out. I will sell them for cheaps. $10 shipped for 4. I was going to put them on my GT, but even with that little of a difference, my wheel would hit the kit. What happens when you get 18's.
