What backspacing do you use on those? Does it feel stable on the freeway?

1.75 backspacing...

It feels fine, but I wouldn't go making top speed runs.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Do you need to grind anything for the front with the 1.75 spacing?
Is there a slightly wider rim and tire that would be more stable for street driving?

We have worked in conjuction with Bogart to come up with a direct fit rim for our ls1 and lt1 cars. These are a VERY nice quality rim, lighter then the welds, just as streetable.

These rims are a work of art and look like show rims.

Email me for special pricing we are running currently until the 15th of august. You will never see them at this price since we are receiving special below normal distributor pricing and passing the savings on to our customers. After the 15th, the prices will go up.
