Front Weld Drag Lites??Spacers needed??

[lib88stang]

I have SN95 front brakes on my 88 5.0 car, will I need spacers on the front to run 3 1/2inch front runners? I'm looking to buy either drag lites or pro stars

What year are the brakes off of?

99-04 GT front brakes with Weld wheels need 5/16" to clear. If the brackets are unmolested. Grind face of cross bar down somewhat you may be able to use 1/4" spacer.

With cross bar cut off bracket I think you could get away with 1/8" but need to make sure wheel doesn't touch outer edge of caliper.

These are off a 94 or 95

No idea on the SN95 stuff Shaun, but even with my SVO brakes (same pads as Fox) you technicallycould say I need a spacer with new pads and my Pro-Stars ... The clips that hold the front pad in rub the inside of the wheel with new pads .... simple solution was to hammer the clips flat for me (but a 1/4 spacer would have been the ticket).

with 95 brakes you do need to grind on the brackets to not use a spacer

Is there any front runners that fit with no grinding or spacers needed??

yes the weld and centerline 17" x 4's will fit with not grinding or the bogarts with the spacers built in.
