They should clear your LS conversion as I currently have 6-piston Wilwoods installed up front, and 4-piston out back with 12" rotors. I wanted to keep my old rallys as well, but since I had to go bigger, might as well install larger rallys.

Cool! I will look into these when the time comes. Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have a better shot from the side? I thought these were billet ralleys but sounds like they are steel. Thanks...

Here's another couple of pics under different lighting. They are steel and had them painted silver.

I ordered from Wheel Vintiques directly. I can't find the website as well.

The sizes are:

Front 17x8, 5.0BS, 5X4.75BP
Rear 17x9, 5.5BS, 5X4.75BP

Tires

Nitto, 245/45/17 NT-555
Nitto, 275/40-17 NT-555

Have a Speedtech setup with a Ford 9" rear and 4.11's. No spacers required. If you go 17x9.5 in the rear, you may need a spacer and do some adjustments. Every setup is different and I left it up to my supplier to provide the proper spacing for my setup. Hope this helps.

Wish I could find this wheel size on their site. Will be calling tomorrow to see if they can make them.

For those that are curious. They can get those sizes its just 21$ extra per wheel to get those backspaces that aren't listed on their site.
