they will rub, black ss/sc has them. I believe he had to modify something with his strut to make it fit. Look into the hooiser q.t.p. or a hooiser drag radial

As long as you don't roll around on the streets with some 16" rims, we won't have to shoot you....

I had to grind the swaybar mount a bit on the strut, and then they fix ok but I can barley get a piece of paper between the sidewall and strut. Since then I installed longer wheel studs and just use 1/3" spacers on them at the track.
