I don' t think it hurts that much at the track, obviously it hasn' t hurt you! I think it hurts more on the road in daily road applications.

15x4 front with 28x7.50 m/t sportsman pros
15x10 rear with 6.5bs and a ton of cutting reshaping, normally people use 5.5bs and are happy with how it looks. 28x12.50 et street


thirdgens don't need to grind calipers or run any spacers anywhere as our brakes are too small. I needed to grind the rear calipers slightly since I am running lt1 rear brakes but it was a 15 min job per side and very easy to do. No spacers needed.

you probably have the PBR rear brakes which would be aluminum calipers. Those would be similar to the LT1 brakes, you'd have to grind off some of the "fins" on the calipers, but it is relatively easy. I would just mock the rim on the caliper with some grease pen all over on the caliper and spin the rim slightly by hand and whatever grease came off the caliper is where I had to grind a bit more.

www.cardomain.com/id/xpndbl3 there are pics on the later pages the first couple of pages are how I bought the car.

Thank you very much sir that helps me alot,what about the wheels? can I go 10" in the back without facing another problem? My mind is set on Center Line Convo star front 6" but in the back I love 3rd gen on fat tires u know what I mean? so I feel the 8.5" in the back are not enough 10" would be perfect any idea about the back space or should I go like yours 6.5bs? see those picture I love how this Camaro look with Convos





any idea about the sizes of the wheels in this Camaro?

Lets see, i think the front are 15x6 with a 3.5 BS, the rear are the 15x8.5 with a 4.5 BS. I have the 295/50/15 rear, i have 205/60/15 front. The fron tires are too short and too skinny, my car does not shut down fast enough with theese. Hooks pretty god.

a 205 should fit a 15x6 perfectly, I was running a 215/65/15 on my 15x6 fronts and it was too wide

If he plans on DD it would 15x4's be a safety hazard? I would think they would break easily, hell I broke one of my 15x6's on a pothole. It cracked eack spoke where they meet up with the hoop of the rim. If I had to choose a rim for daily duty again it sure wouldnt be a drag style wheel for sure.
