How much grinding does it take? I can't buy the F-Body specific due to the 7.5BS, rear narrowed 1 inch each side. I've seen pics of them mounted, maybe they were all running LT1 brakes. I don't want to run 2 spacers just for them to fit.

Well if you're running a rear end that's narrowed 1" on each side then a 15x10 will work with 6.5" backspacing. Now if that rim will clear the calipers is another story

Bump....
I might give this a try one day. My rears are already ground down somewhat and I've got a spacer. Had Weld Prostars on the back, it was a tight fit though. I could always change to Strange brakes. I would hate to be stuck with rims I can't use if I bought them!

I run a 15x4 with 1.625 BS. Sportsman 15x7 S/R tires.
Is the rear narrowed 1"? If so, the 6.5" will work with a moderate amount of grinding with stock calipers or go to a drag brake to pick up more clearance. You might get away with around a 5/16" spacer and less grounding if you prefer that route and you're running extended studs.
A friend on here (Nubbz) has a narrowed rear and I believe is running the 4.5 or 5" backspacing version. He mentioned that he had to do a significant amount of grinding, but did get them to fit!
