Need some input regarding Weld wheels

I bought 15x5 and 15x10 Weld Draglite's for my car today. Now problem is the front ones hit the caliper. Are those who are running these type wheels using some sort of spacer behind them? I cant get the Weld Draglite XP's since Weld stopped making them in 15" diameter's.

Just use a 7/16" spacer and you should be fine but to be 100% safe you should look into putting 2.5 or 3" race studs up front. I used the Steeda 3" up front to be legal at the track.

Thanks, I should have posted I figured this out. Can't wait to get tires for the front wheels and some warm weather so I can mount these things
