I just ordered the summit stars like 30 mins. ago. theyre 15x8 -5x4.75 and 5.5 bs. from what ive read in older threads they will require some grinding in the back but very minimal, unless you have lt1 brakes then theyll clear no prob. someone correct me if im wrong but thats what ive been reading thus far. also read you can use youre stock lugnuts and wheel studs. i paid 251.00 total so the price is not bad at all, but i only ordered two for the rear.

i just helped put some 15x10 7.5 on lt1 car with no spacer and had very little grinding not bad at all, Just took off those little groves that stick out took just a few mins it made the caliper look alot better too. A spacer might help but no spacer you will need to grind on lt1 cars too

I wasn't liking mine until I left the center caps off. imo.. they look 10x better with no center cap and the hub panted black. Mine are 15x4 fronts with a 1/4" spacer. rear is 15x8 5.5 BS with a Hoosier 275/50 DR.






No they don't stick out either... for whatever reason in the pic it looks like they stick out but they don't. Probably due to the stock springs I'm still running and the fact I took a lot of weight out of the car.. the car sits higher than stock now.
