SJM Sponser Bogart dealer only other opion might be to grind calipers with 15x3.5 but some people say they still have to run spacers even with their calipers ground. Bogarts have correct back spacing for LS1.

Bogarts are a direct fit, and Steve at SJM (sponsor) is the Best guy to deal with when it comes to them. call him up and he'll take care of you. if you prefer Welds, and don't want spacers, make sure the skinnies you get are 15x3.5 with a 1 3/4"b.s. or you'll be buying a new set if you've already mounted them on the car, or even just the tires. but be prepared to do a bit of grinding on the calipers, especially the rears!!! the reason for not running spacers is because they push the rim farther out on the studs, putting added stress on them and potentially increasing the chance of snapping them off, spitting out your tire, and your car landing on the axle or even worse, your body panels.
