Question Billet Specialties wheels for F-body ??????

I am planning on narrowing the rear in my car in the near future. I was wondering if you can get the F-body specific wheel in anything other than 7.5 backspace? Or will I have to run drag brakes on the rear with the rear narrowed?

I want to run a 4.5 backspace wheel with stock brakes.

Thanks,

nope...6 5/8" on a 10" rim actually fits better w/o having to hack up the car. A 10" w/ 7.5" backspace w/ a 28x10.50 wouldn't even bolt onto my car, but the 6 5/8" backspace fits perfectly. I've got a set for sell btw...

Thanks,
In the 17'' version yes. IF you go 15'' then you will have to run drag brakes. Bogart is the only company that I know of that can make a 15'' wheel with any backspace you like while clearing LS1 rear brakes.

I thought billet specialties came out with an F-body specific wheel? Before Dragwheelz.com got banned they were selling sets of them, and they had pics of them fitting over stock brakes. Heres the link to them:

I am not wanting to get the wheel with 7.5 backspace. I will be getting it with something like 4.5 backspace. I will be narrowing the rear this winter.
