Anybody run n zq8 brake set up with drag racing wheels just curious what fits on dem size and back space pics always good too
 
ZQ8 brakes? I am assuming you mean blazer drop spindles with blazer brakes?
 
The problem with 2 piston calipers is the face of the caliper can hit the backside of the wheel web on some wheels.

It's not really the backspacing
Not necessarily drop spindle but yes the blazer brakes just wondering if 15s fit on them as far as like weld drag wheels

The 11" brakes fit most 15" wheels, but backspacing isn't the issue. The Outside face of the 2 piston calipers can rub the backside web of some wheel designs.

The LS1 12" brakes have the same issue with 16" wheels.

The good thing about most drag wheels like welds is you can use the longer lugnuts and spacers to move the wheels away from the calipers. You just have to make sure the longer nuts don't bottom early.
