[QUOTE="SirShaun, post: 15129286, member: 163618"] I don't have Race Stars/Dark Stars but I would listen to the disclaimer. I have the SVE Drag Pack in Dark Stainless and had a wheel weight nightmare on the rear 15x10s. The tire shop who mounted the DRs used two thick of a wheel weight. I took off down the road and got 3 wheel weights stuck in the caliper. Spent an hour trying to fish them out without taking the caliper off. It's a very tight fit. You can't fit your finger between the wheel and the caliper. Low Profile weights fixed my issue however. This will open a whole new argument however in regards to balancing drag radials or not. I opted to balance them due to a lot of street miles. The argument being the tire slips the bead and the balance gets thrown off during hard launches. Weights also have the potential to fly off at the track and mess crap up. Some people choose to mark the tire in comparison to the wheel weights to see if they move, and also use duct tape to keep the weights from flying off. You will definitely need a sway bar relocation kit regardless, to run a 15x10 wheel. Hopefully you are already aware. Whatever you do Weld your axle tubes, and I suggest welding your LCA reloaction brackets if you plan on those too. Just spent $2k on a built 8.8 + install due to twisting the stock rear something bad. [/QUOTE]
