I scanned through this but did not find the answer to my issue. I hope someone will be able to help me.
I have a narrowed Moser 9" (3" on both sides). I have mini tubs in the rear. I have installed a set of 15"x12"x6.5"bs Billet Specialties on the rear. All is good there. Now I want to run 15" BS rims up front, but because I have a 40 spline with spool on the rear I want to run a wider tire up front then a 4" or smaller rim will fit. I want to run a 15"x6" Billet Specialies rim up front. I ordered a 11.75" Wilwood brake kit for the front (I have Wilwoods on the rear and wanted to stay Wilwood on the front to match). The calipers are narrower the the OEM calipers. They are 4 piston calipers. They do stick over the wheel flange a very little and I think I can use a .250" spaver (or.5" spacer) to get the caliper to clear the spokes. What I am worried about and want to know is with the 15x6 with a 3.5" backspace BS rim does anyone know exactly how far it is from the rims wheel flange to the 14" barrel of the rim? This brake kit total diameter is 13.7". So I need to have the caliper in the 14" barrel of the rim. Also what I need to know is with this rim and the spaver will it place the outer edge of my tires (thinking I will use a 225 up front) outside the wheel well?
I talked to someone at Billet Specialies and they thought it would fit but advised to get on the forum and ask everyone to see what yall know. I have been searching on here for 3 days and I have yet to find anything on here about this exact rim on our f-bodies.
If I have to rim a skinny I will but I really would like to not run a skinny.
Thanks guys for the help.

Forgive me for momentarily steeling this thread.
My car is not finished but I do have a few pics of it I can post but I do not have these wheels for the front yet, just the rear.
I am trying to decide which wheel to get for the front. It will be the wheels we are talking about here but I want to run 15x6 in ones instead of 15x4 or smaller ones. I am trying to find anyone who has put the 15x6 wheel on the front of their car and get information on which brake kit they used to accomplish this.
Here is the brake kit I ordered but have not yet installed: http://wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds653.pdf
I need to know what the distance from the wheel flange to the 14" barrel is on the Billet Specialty Street light 15x6 with the 3.5" back space is, and if they will stick the tire out from under the wheel well any and if they had to run a wheel spacer or not.
