Default Weld 15x10 w 6.5 rear space on 4 gen camaro

Hi, gotta noobish question

I am considering buying a set of greg weld 15x3.5s front and weld 15x10 w/6.5" rear spacing.. has 28X12.50 M/T ET Drags- Slicks on rear.. I know i have to do some grinding, but what other trouble will i run into? I have extended wheel studs and am planning to roll fenders.. currently on stock suspension.

I know 7.5" rear spacing is the usual, but will the 6.5" rs work Without something turning into a headache on a 4th gen

Thx
Phil

With a Camaro, you will need a 7.5" BS. The 6.5 will stick out too far and with a 28" tall tire your fenders will hate you.

Not to mention no matter how much grinding you do with Greg Welds, they wont fit over LS1 brakes until your calipar is virtually ground through.

how do you figure? a 15x10 with a 7.5bs sits flush with the quarter. therefor a 6.5 backspace will stickout 1"

Yeah, the 2.5" thing is a little extreme. Either way a 6.5" BS on a Camaro won't work unless you are staying stock ride height and don't plan on running anything taller than a 26" tall tire. Even then, you may get some rubbage when you go up steep driveways or curbs.
