check to see if the clip that holds the outer pad in the front caliper id contacting the rim, if so for a temp fix I ground the tops flat until 1/4 spacers arived from maximum motorsports

are these weld draglites? or summit knockoff's?

If they are welds, you should be using the 1.75" deep shank lugs.. andthey SHOULD be working for you.

Summit sells the ones you need
