Just a little gringing and your good to go. I bought US Wheels 15x10 with a 4" back spacing they stick out a little to far 8" wide would work better. They sell wheels designed for large brakes. The ID is larger deeper into the wheel.

The "L" in the part number is the "Larger Brake Wheel"

May be an 1/8" . I used a 4" angle gringer then hit it with the belt sander. If your going to the dyno day you can check it out up close.

-wheels look good. Get some shots with wheels and tires mounted on the truck with it on the ground. I have to see how it looks.

They stick out too far. They don't have a better offset than that?
