15" wheel possible?

[Sledheadxp800r]

Is it possible? Has anyone ran a 15" wheel? How much grinding will need to be done to the calipers to make it happen? Probably need to cut the end of the ball joint off too?

This would be nice to know for us drag racing. We could take advantage of all the drag radials that the car guys just make a few passes on them and sale them for cheep.

Is it really worth compromising your brakes?

IIRC they do not clear the brake assembly. 16's will have to suffice

Id be lucky to get 40mph out of my truck and I don't need brakes to stop the truck. The sled will take care of that for me.

1/2" seems like a pretty good amount of meat to grind off.

Stock Spindles wont work IIRC.

Yeah I probably wont try it. Is there a smaller aftermarkett caliper out there.

Hows the clearance on the tie rod?

just get a plasma and cut away...better yet take the brakes off just put a driveline brake on! :rofl:
