Back in the day there was a place called "the billet spot" and they were doing good then something happened and service got shitty real quick. I got sent the wrong back spacing and had fight with them for 4 months just to get the right wheels. I think tjere is place called larry hodge racing that carries them for the cheapest. I see them advertise on some of the banners on here

If its for a stock length rear for 10in you need 7.5in back spacing. They make special rears to clear the ls1 calipers with no grinding and have the proper back spacing.

they dont make a street lite in 10 or 10.5, only in 11, and that depends, are you on stock width rear end? if so for 11" you need to run 7.5 BS

Srry took so long to reply, my rear spacing is 7.75, they have to special make them since they don't keep in stock, if you call jegs and tell him you want these, they'll give you at the price of a normal 17x11, they made a new part number for my order, I rolled my fender lips, so I have no rubbing at all, mine is lowered 1inch in rear, I think they'd rub the bump stops at stock height

This is true but in order to get that deal through Jegs you must copy & paste the vendors webpage with pricing & they will match it. I bought mine(the rears) from Jegs & thats what I had to do. Got them for $325 ea. I got the fronts & all my tires through Belle Tire, it was nice because I didnt have to pay cash up front for everything doing it this way.
