Default 15x14'' wheel on 2003 4x4???

I want to run some sand drag's and have a set of paddles on 15x14 weld wheels. What has to be done to get these past the brakes on my o3?

Take your rear brakes off... what do you need rear brakes for on a 200' track!

Already thought about taking them off but I need them to spool the turbo.

So having one of the fastest street vehicles around isn't good enough? Have to whoop up in the sand drags too?

Lol no I won't be as fast as some of these guys in the sand. They have 2300 lb jeeps and bronco's with 540ci on the bottle. I just think it would be cool to run with some of them in a full street truck driven there. These paddles are way too small for my weight and power but should still be fun. If I find a way to get them on I will take pic's.

These are the paddles off my old 75 stepside. This truck went 5 flat at 66mph in the 100 yds full weight, mufflers iron headed NA 406 SBC. Pic here was final round against my buddies 514CI race gas BB ford.

I can only imagine the horror of the $100k rig owners at the bottom of Oldsmobile Hill at Glamis if you showed up in paddles

You could switch to drum brakes.
