Bogarts are the only wheels that fit without grinding, other than centerlines, but centerlines dont have the right backspace so they stick out a bit. So you have to either grind, or spend the money on bogarts.

I'd like to believe the 2 posts above- but I need to see it rather than read it at this point about either of those wheels. Especially since I am dying for the BS Lites.

Like Camaro396 said you are pretty much out of luck at the moment. You will have to purchase Bogarts or Centerlines if you don't want to grind or use spacers.

No, they just stick out a little because of the backspace. I have them on my car.

Well dunno if this helps i got my skinnies (15x4 JEGS Sport Stars) today but i didnt get the tires on so to make sure they needed no grinding or spacer i slapped it on and it fit fine now all i need is a lil bit longer studs and i should be good to go.I'm not sure how much you have to grind 4 the rears but atleast 4 now no grinding was needed maybe you might wanna just get the fronts same route i went ill get the rears sometime later good luck!

One thing about hot rodding that never changes is the fact that we have to get used to modding things to work. I'll stick with a lil grinding and my $250 set of used Pro stars
