Default Rear 15in wheel conversion experiences

Been looking at BMR and a few other companies that have the conversion.

Looking to see what experience people have had with these conversions. Fitment, wheel options after the conversion and so on.

Thank you

The BMR setup was extremely easy, it's a few bucks, but works well, and comes with everything you need. I went with some Bogart 15X10.5 Wheels. I ended up mini tubbing and running a 325 Drag Radial.

You can basically run any 15X10, 5X120MM wheel with the right backspace though.

Do you have this on your site? I couldn't find it. If not, could you post some pics of your setup please?

I actually developed this stuff back in late 2011, been so busy with the 4th gen stuff never really got into production till recently. This is the ONLY rear IRS with the lightweight Strange brakes.

The BMR drag suspension and V6 brakes clear Racestar 15x10.

I debated the BMR brake kit but $2,000 vs $300 I figured I could live with the weight difference.

Thank you
The ARH/ Fark's Supercars 2010 Camaro uses the BMR 15" wheel conversion package with a different shock and it is the fastest 2010+ IRS Camaro in world right now. It regularly goes 7.6X @ 178 in the 1/4 mile with the high 1.1X to low 1.2X 60ft times. So the setup is proven and it works.

This is also the same setup we use on our BMR 2010 Camaro that is 9.2x car and normally sees 60ft times in the low to mid 1.3X range.

If you decide to use our BMR setup let me know and I would be more than happy to see what we can do for you on it.

I can do the whole Drag Race package for 4800.00

This is the complete front and rear packages.

Rear includes the full adjustable control arm set, toe rods, long travel double adjustable coil over shocks(uses softer spring than other kits), upper control arm rear pivot bushing, and tubular chromoly anti-roll bar. New GM spindles are machined to accept the Strange lightweight brake kit, stainless hoses, line adapters, and all hardware is included.

Front Brake kit is complete with calipers, rotors, hoses, brackets, and hardware.

Additional savings are possible with a wheel and tire package as well!

I appreciate you guys! Have you guys ever decided to build some front suspension components for these cars? I would love that, with some matching Wilwood brakes.
