Default Anyone using 17" weld RT-S as front runners?

I really like the look of the weld rt-s i want to get the 15x10 for the rear and i thought the 17x4.5 would look good instead of the 15x4 up front, but i dont know if they have them in the right offset for f-bodies in 17's for the front... anyways heres a pic of the look i want but on a GT500 and they might be 18's up front not sure.. but if anyone has this setup on a f-body please post pics.

These wheels in 17 and 18 where supposed to be released early this year and still are not available. I spoke to Terry at Weld months ago and have yet to see anyone stocking these wheels. I have been waiting close to a year and about ready to just take my business somewhere else after the repeated delays.

Weld has the 17x4.5 wheels in stock for this application? I just checked myself.
Order them up and post your pics.

They are availible.

A member on here posted months ago when he recieved his 17" RTS wheels for his Corvette. A lot of people on SVTP have ordered and recieved the 17s as well.

Weld has 17 inch and 18 inch RT-S wheel available to order. These look great on the F body cars.

Any pictures with these 18" fronts? If they will fit over brembos I would like to try 18'' in the front and 15's in the rear.

Weld makes 17 and 18 inch RT-S wheels that clear the brakes. And 15 inch for the rear with no mods. I do not have pics but there are some out there. Anyone?

I have the CTS-V brembos and Z06 rotor. Are you saying the weld 17" will clear or would I need the 18" for what I have? I am also interested on the backspacing/offset up front on a 4" or 5" wheel? That would great if I did not need a spacer to fit one.

Let me check into that. Horse of a different color with that brake set up. Those are BIG. You shouldn't have any problems stopping thats for sure.
I will send you the info after I do a little research.

That would be great. I am hoping to find something that will fit soon or I will have to put the stock brakes back on. I wish someone had some pictures of what 18's up front with 15's in the rear looked like. If they fit I might go 18'' up front with the RT-S and use a 15" RT in the rear.

I have a couple questions for you. Is it a 6 piston or 4 piston caliper?
Is it a C6 Z06 Rotor?
And what year car is it?
I should be able to nail it down for you with this info.
Thanks

Yes they will. Order medium pad height for caliper clearance.
Direct bolt on, no mods no grinding. SWEET!!
