I had to grind the inner lips of the soft 8 holes off my Cragars, because they hit the brake caliper. A good 1/8" had to come off. Put one wheel on and check where the wheel is hitting the caliper. I wouldn't grind the caliper, but it's safe to grind the wheel.

 

really u had to grind the craigers too, what was the backspace you got, the 4 or the 4.5? I was looking at getting those but if its gonna do the same thing I just keep the ugly stockers.

Mdehoogh he said the Front tires were rubbing the calipers.

 

Gotcha.

The other member that had caliper issues with cragers was "99 blazer" and this was the link he gave for the wheels he had, 15x7 4" BS http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/397...oductId=754162

 

get pro comp wheels instead

I have the 4" bs. I called cragar customer service to find out why they wouldn't fit, but all they could tell me is that sometimes the holes aren't punched like they should be??? or something like that. They had no clue what I was talking about. Took me about 20 maybe 30 minutes to grind all 32 lips down. It was probably more like 1/16th of an inch that hit the caliper, but I took off about an 1/8th for good measure. Those wheels look pretty good, I would just grind them down a little and use them. If you don't want to run the chance of grinding the wheels, get some Pro-Comps, they're pretty good for the price.

 

mine rubbed the brake caliper bracket just a hair at the top and bottom..I took a little off that bracket and they fit fine..there going on the blazer friday
