Maybe on a street wheel, but they do absolutely nothing for a Pro Star which is a Lug Centric Wheel.Originally Posted by WildBill@PSR

No telling Jeff! That was almost 34 years ago. I've slept since then.

Not sure if you have solid axle or IRS. Also all the calipers are the same (Cobra/GT/Mach1/V6). Originally Posted by cline

For an IRS, the brakes are not the limiting factor, it is the tierod. If you want to use 15" rear wheels bust out the die grinder and go to work until they fit.

This has bugged me for awhile and I wanted to know if there's a safety issue with grinding down the tierod? I understand alittle grinding but the pic I saw on another site looked like you have to grind it pretty close to the bolt mount hole. Figured you'd lose some structural integrity there. Has anyone done this and have input on it? Originally Posted by soap

You can used 16" diamond racing wheels with 16" slicks.
