Forward drag rim that clears Turbo II brake caliper?
Looking for a skinny drag wheel with enough back spacing and clearance to clear the 4 piston caliper. Anyone have the spec required?

Run ARP extended studs and use whatever wheel you like. You can use spacers to clear if need be. But weld Draglites and Prostars fit fine.

I'm aware who makes the wheels. I'm looking for the rim tickness/backspacing/tire that fits well in teh fender and clears the brake.

Thanks all.

And yes I already have the rears figured out. it was a custom backhalf and 9" setup.

I hear the 15x4 rim with 1.75 BS will clear a TII caliper by a hair. I'm going to try this.
