I can't help you with it, but maybe help you feel a bit better.

I'm helping a friend with a 1999 T/A that he is preparing for real street 8 second stuff.

He bought a killer Strange 9" and went with Strange four piston fixed mount drag rear brakes.

He bought a new set of 15" alloy wheels for his drag radials.

They don't clear and are only a hair off from fitting. They were suppose to clear based on all the paperwork and web chatter - but no dice.

So, he just bought another set of rims and remounted - these clear.

The stinking part - if he had known this he would have gone with 16" rims and kept the stock LS rear brakes on the conversion bracket and been done with it.

Did even try and call Boze first and give them a chance to help?

Those are some pretty good guys. Whomever you bought them from is responsible for fitment. We guarentee fitment on all our deals. If you bought them direct I am certain they will take care of it. If not, better call your dealer.

What is interesting is Wilwood is the easiest big brakes to clear, I would think that would be simple for them

Probably would have been better to handle this with them directly first rather then announce it here...just saying.
