Had to double check on the part number...Luckily I took a pic of the box with my phone and some others. Something doesn't seem right here..Yours fit way better than mine.

I believe the normal fitment for those wheels on 4-gen F-bodies is the 15 x 4 MP (medium pad) with a 2.25" BS. Yours are 1.5" BS, which would explain why they stick out more.

I think your rim does stick out and its because of that 1.5"bs but your right that is what they have in the medium pad.If you could run the low pad you would have the 2.5"bs and it would look way better.I bet thats the only way they can get brake clearance with a 15" wheel.You can get a rts 17x4.5" with 2.5"bs in medium pad and the Weld alumastar in 17x4.5" has 2.25" bs so either one would fit nice.The 17" wheel clears the brake caliper so much better .

I'm also running some ebay drilled and slotted rotors. Maybe they are the wrong ones?

Was just looking at this thread with the SAME tire and wheel... It fits pretty much just like your car...does not look like mine. Could it be possible that something is wrong with the rotors if the wheel is actually the correct size?

I'm thinking I got the wrong rotors, I did after all buy them off of Ebay
I could always just take one of the fronts off, visit a local parts store and have them pull one out and compare.
