On the prostar there is a steel hub sandwiched between the aluminum shell of the wheel. An inner and an outer with the hub that floats around a little until its bolted. And sometimes its a bitch to line up and bolt!

****! the billet specialties dont fit either.. They have the right back space but hit the brakes way too much. Looks like I would need a full inch between grinding and a spacer.... Anyone know if these will work? Or should I just go with the proven to fit welds??

I run 15mm spacers and gring off the rectangle mazda peice on the caliper! So if 15mm and about 1/8'' inch grind will do it, it will fit if not i dont know.

15mm would be close to 5/8. Thats what i would get. When you get ready to grind calipers let me know ill give some advice.
