CCW Drag wheel owners...

What is the size and back spacing of your rear rims? Did you have to grind your suspension to have them fit?

I don't have this package yet, but know people w/ them. There is a little grinding required. It is Very Very minimal though.

I have the 335's on 18x11 rims and I did not have to grind anything. there is about 1/4 inch to the upper a-arm though. Very tight but an excellent fit. Call John, he will set you up with the right combo. :seeya

I have the standard CCWDrag setup and only had to peen down the upper ball joint dust cover to make them work.

Re: CCW Drag wheel owners... (9D9LS1)

what do you mean 'peen'? Did you hit it with a ball peen hammer?

With the stock Firebird rims that I have. I think I have to grind the top of the bolt.

Re: CCW Drag wheel owners... (ICULUKN-C5)

I have the CCW drag pac wheels, I had to take a file and take off the little bump on top of the ball joint to make the rims fit. use a hand grinder or what ever. :D It's not a BIG DEAL to remove that little bit. :flag :seeya

A little grinding had to be done on part of suspension. Call John at CCW and he will hook you up with the same setup most have. Again the grinding is minimal.
