Not it is not your imagination, the backs do stick out a but more because I am using a 6.5 BS vs a 7.5 BS (which is what most use). Unfortunately I got a steal on these rims so that is what I am working with. It is quite amazing how these wheels change the look of the entire car, I am happy with the appearance and performance (although I will look to trade for some 7.5 BS down the road)
To the "why no center caps comment"......This is Tampa baby, no fbody's rock the caps!

No, they stick out a bit. I'd bet they are the 6.5" bs instead of the usual 7.5 for a Camaro. T/A's can run the 6.5 without them sticking out (that's what I had on my WS6).

No rub whatsoever! (I have already had a run with them https://ls1tech.com/forums/street-racing-kill-stories/967108-cannibalized.html and tried a few 3500-4000 rpm launches) The car fully squatting is about 1/2" off the tire still.....at least I hope 
Havok, is your car m6 or auto?
Do you think I should roll the fenders? My worry is that they will not roll out enough to cover the tire so it may look worse...
The plan was to roll around on the stock fronts for a while....but aint it funny how plans change

his car may not squat as bad as some other peoples, mine doesnt. it all depends on the way you set up your suspension. draglites definatly look good on camaros, and you can never fault a guy for using a good deal.

Looks awesome!!! I just got my set-up too and couldn't agree with you more I can't believe how it changes the whole "look" of the car I got so many comments/compliments last night at work.

So, Mundelein was your old domain, huh? I love it here. Been here since I got out of the Marine Corp in 1990. Where are you at now?
