If you got the standard Street Lites and not the F-body specific ones you will have to do some grinding for sure because of the different barrel design that Billet Specialties uses on the standard wheel verse the F-body specific version. If possible I would recommend returning the standards and pay the extra for the F-body specific ones.

Or you can get race brakes for the rear and they will fit.

Return them if you can, if not you could swap to LT1 brakes in the rear and it would probably be cheaper than race brakes and they should clear them just fine.

i was just under the asumption that they would be about the same as the pro stars that would require either grinding or a smaller caliper to make work. Mine are the f-body specific ones so im just guessing here.

To put lt1 brakes on you need to get the bracket that bolts to the axle tube, calipers, and rotors, not sure if the brake lines will work either.

f-body specific wheels are ~120.00 each per wheel more, plus the cost of the return freight ~40.00 and new freight at 20-40. so why not apply that ~300.00 toward a set of Strange Brakes that cost in the 450.00 range and have the best of both worlds for only 150.00 more?

Just ask TSP Aaron what I mean... he knows first hand!

Good point. I happen to be running Aarons old F-body specific wheels since his current narrowed rear end from you required some new wheels!
