Front and rear. I have seen the fronts and they fit well over stock brakes. The test car had aftermarket rotors and pads. As long as caliper location does not change they will clear a lot of the popular aftermarket rotors.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in Billet Specialties and our products.
The Street Lite line of wheels can be had in the size you have inquired about.
The only snag you are going to run into is in fitting your brakes inside these 15" wheels.
The inside diameter of our 15’’ Street Lite wheels is 13.170’’.
Due to this these wheels will not work with your current brake setup.
You will have to either go with a smaller diameter brake package, or go up in wheel diameter.
Thanks,
Inside Sales / Customer Service

Don't be confused. At this time Billet Specialties does not offer a Direct Fit wheel that will work correctly on the front.
The 15x4 with the 1.625 will Stick out of the fenders and not be tucked in correctly like the rears will. Also you will need to run a spacer or still grind down the top and bottom of the caliper. I fit a set on a car today and it did in fact rub. Now when you add a spacer to these you push the out further.

We had no spacer, and no rubbing. The wheel spun freely. It suck out as far as a pro star would n any other car.
I will check again to verify the caliper was not touched. If it was it was no more than a pro star.
Anyway you look at it you can bolt these on. We will have rears this week.

Anyway you look at it is Not the Proper answer to a Wheel that is not a proper Fit. and to say they will stick out as much as a pro star is way off. a prostar is a 15x3 1.75" of BS this is a 15x4 with a 1.625" of backspace. There is a BIG Diffrence in the 2 wheels and where they will fit.
The proper Fittment is not available yet, Nor is a revised Front wheel.

That must be the gospel then.
It is what it is. Ours did not rub and fit as in the pic. It did stick out about the same as a Pro Star with a spacer.
