Default BS Streetlite wheels, F-body specific or not?

Just wanting to know if you highly recommend the f-body specific wheels over the non one's? Is it worth the money? Is it capable to run the wheels that isn't specific to f-body calipers? Just trying to save a little cash!

I don't know about the none f-body specific one's and how they will fit but I have the 15x4 for the front... I noticed a lot of people are running the same size more then the 15x3.5

The fbody specific ones go right on with no grinding and no issues, except if you run a big tire you will have to do the BFH mod! If you have like a narrrowed rearend then you can get the non specific ones with a different BS for a bigger dish on the front side of the wheel. Point is if you have a stock rearend with stock brakes the only ones that will fit are the the fbody specific.

DO NOT ORDER FROM DRAGWHEELZ! Get them from jegs or summit, or call up Bukhart racing, I believe that they have them.

Speed Inc is selling them now. I didn't have an issue when I ordered mine from Dragwheelz.

I'm running the 15x4s with 1.625" backspacing and have the F-Body Specific 15x10 rears.

Most are running the 1.625 backspacing. See the link below for the lugnuts

Here is a post of my car with the F-Body specific 15x10s and the 15x4s with 1.625 backspacing
