Default 15x8 Greg Welds DO NOT fit yet

I know there has been some question to weather or not the 15x8s that Summit just got in stock will fit or not if they are the revised versions yet or not, well yesterday, for the hell of it at my shop I ordered a set of them figuring they would not fit yet, and well they dont, not even close. These are on stock calipars. Later Im going to try them on another car here at the shop with ground calipars for prostars, but again I doubt they will fit those either.

Im not man, I guess my sarcasm came off as the wrong way (hard to tell on the net) but I was just making this so people also knew what you said that they dont fit, I know a couple people had their minds set on thinking these were the re-designed set.

man I'm sick of waiting. I didn't think they would end up fitting but I thought they would be a lot closer than that!

maybe they expected us to not run rear calipers????

I will run them when they are remade. I dont mind a little grinding as long as you dont have to go anymore then you would with prostars.

dose it have 15x10's or 15x8's??? When are you going to try? If they dont fit the pro star grinded calipers how much more grinding do you thin they will need?

Just pulled the 15x10 prostars off and the greg weld 15x8s do not even come close to fitting. The calipar would need WAY more grinding. To an unsafe extent.
