Default Jegs/Summit Draglite style wheels

I have not seen anyone run them, Do they clear the calipers on LS cars? I found a set locally for really cheap and just wanna see if anyone else has them?

I have Summit Stars and they fit you just have to use a air grinder and grind some of the edges of the calipers if you go with the 15" wheels anything larger you should not have to do any grinding.

That isn't what he asked. I have read of people that couldn't make the summit draglites fit at all. Your better off going with an original weld.

I just put a set of Summit Sport Slot's on the front of my 2002 with no problem. The calipers had been ground to fit Weld Pro Star, but now I don't need a spacer. Sure would like to get a set for the rear, but not sure if they will fit.

I just called Summit on the rear wheel and in the Sport Slot they don't come close with a 4.5 back space in the 15 x 10.

Get a 8 inch wide with 5.5 bs. It will fit and has been done all around on here with no grinding or spacers.

Is this for sure, they will fit? I want to put a set of 275/50r15 ET Street Radials out back and they call for a 8.5 rim. Do ya'll think the 15x8 will work?
