Well I posted this because last I heard rear greg welds didn't fit and they weren't ever gonna be any that did fit. He says "revised" version that does fit camaros and trans am's. If it is false and they dont actually fit it would suck for someone who didn't get the memo. Than I thought maybe I did't get it and they finally pulles it off But I dont think so.

the fronts will fit without grinding, however, the rears will NOT. greg weld closed it's doors before they ever made a wheel with the correct offset for the rear of an F bod. I've heard, (don't quote me on this) but if you run LT1 brakes in the rear, with a copius amount of grinding, you can make them fit. really sucks they never got their act straight. potential to make alot of money there.

False advertisement. The "revised" set never made production due to Greg Weld closing their doors before they had the chance to re-design. Plus the backspace is wrong on the rears.

correcto, Ive talked that specific seller a few weeks back and the rears do not fit LS1s at all even with a ground caliper...dont know why they are advertising that, they seemed pretty honest to me when I called.

Thats what I figured. Was just curious if somethin slipped by me I didnt know about. As far as the lt1 brakes do you know anyone who has done it. what about drag brakes?

skinnies had them all around on his car. But he ground A LOT off the calipers. I tried to get mine to fit but I was taking off way too much material so I stopped and never got the rears on.

Not to mention 15x10 w/6.5" backspace will rub fenders with any kind of tire that would need that wide of a rim...

FWIW, That shop is about 20 minutes away from me. Jim is/was always a straight shooter, so I don't know what to make of that ad? I used to buy the old McCreary DOT tires from him like 20 years ago...If I remember, I'll stop by there Monday and see exactly what he has to say. Maybe even offer my car up for a test fit? I'm sure that if he indeed has the only known unobtainable rear GW wheels that will fit an LS1 car, than a picture of them on my car (jacked up with the wheels spinning) would surely boost sales, huh? lol
