Hope your running Aerospace drag brakes otherwise good luck getting them to fit. There have already been several people who jumped on them when the first thread arose that have had to sell them b/c they don't fit.

Yeah I liked those too but held off cause I heard about fitment issues. Even though the backs have a 7.5 mm backspacing they still have issues. Probably need spacer's up front too. If you can make em' work they should be sweet. Let us know how it goes.

And I just finished mounting these meats on there

Here is a few good pics of the rims for those interested in pickin' a set up.
And don't mind the little puppy in the background, but she is the one who balanced them for me!:w00t:

Well, heres the deal, I've been told that they do not fit with our stock calipers even with heavy ginding done... They fit with Strange, and Wilwood. I ordered a set of Wilwoods for 500.00 or something. However, my buddy just did the whole ginding deal on his 00 SS for his Weld Pro Stars, so, I'm gonna try to see if these wheels will really not/do fit on a grinded LS1 caliper. I'll post up with any issues so all of you guys know.

Fronts are 15x3.5 (still waiting on backorder for 2 more weeks)

Now, I've heard that they DO fit with LT1 rear calipers, however, I believe you're still may/gonna have to grind down your calipers a bit.

fronts should have no problems with a 1 3/4" backspacing. (from what I hear) lol

Rears will not fit with stock ls1 rear brake calipers, I went with Wildwood drag brakes, and they fit just fine
