Default Billet Specialties Streetlight wheels

Do they require the calipers to be modified?

Well I answered my own question...HELL NO... Billet Specialties wheels will not fit with modified factory brakes, no matter how much you grind off. So plan on buying $1300.00 worth of brakes to use them, truely sucks ****! But we bought them already for one of our camaros. Thanx Z8s for your input and recomendations.

The fronts fit over stock LS1 brakes but you will have to grind and run a spacer. The backs will not fit at all (supposed to be changing the hoop) and you will have to go to different brakes. I was already getting a new rear end so it wasn't that much more to add the strange brakes at that time.
