Default Race star 15x3.75 wheels fit over calipers on front?

I am wanting to buy the race stars for the front of my car. Here is the link to where I am wanting to buy them from.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/15X3-75-RACE...item1c200af4a3

It says it has 1.50" back spacing. Is that enuf to clear the front calipers? Someone please let me know if the wheels I posted in the link above will work on my 99 f-body. Thanks!

If your going to use them for drag racing I suggest you read about there one size fits all idea, you might change your mind on going with them. There nice looking wheels though, I'm just not a fan of how they mount

Yea I seen that. It doesn't bother me. I talked to one of the guys at race star industries... I don't think they could legally sell them if it was unsafe. As long as the lugs are tight it will be good. They look great and are a really good price. I'm thinking about getting the rears also now and selling my zr1's.
