I am looking to get a set of drag wheels for the track. I am running the SSBC Superduty Cobra Style 2 Piston Caliper Disc Brake kit that uses a 13" rotor. On their website it states 17" minimum wheel diameter. It looks like 17" front drag wheels are hard to find and everyone is running 15" wheels. Will it fit with some kind of spacing? Need help!

This is my front brake specs:

If im not mistaking, a set of 3 inch ARP studs and some one inch spacers should do the trick with a 15 inch skinny, 1.75 inch backspacing.

you can get away with a 1/2 spacer and longer studs if you dont mind grinding on the calipers

X2...I did a ton of grinding to get my streetlites to fit with 7/16 spacers.

True but the seventeen inch alumustars look awesome.
