for 17 inch wheels, no mods.

for the track I run 16 inch wheels with slicks (16's need lots of mods).

for the street I run 17 inch wheels with big *** 390's.

here's my thread on them: https://ls1tech.com/forums/gen-5-cam...-included.html

I was told to fit 18s you had to grind part of the spindle in the front. This was for a street setup though.assuming youre all running skinny -offset stuff in the front? Since its for drag racing?

I don't know of any 18's that need modifications. I believe that 18's are bolt on and go.
