Again, thanks to John Norris for taking the time to mess with the prototype wheel (which we had to send back LOL it was warped), and figure out how much grinding was needed. I am a little dense, so you just had to knock a little off the top of the calipers? I might finally need a set myself.

They do make them in a 10". I have them on my car. I'm not sure on what bs are available. I run the 5" bs, with the 325 DR, but just mounted the 315 & going to see what's needed to make them fit on the car.

It is doubtful they will make 15x10's that tuck in the 15x9's. When I was talking to Nicole Sheehy at Centerline (founder's daughter), she was willing to get an engineer to rifle through the parts bins and try to match up half of one wheel with half of another... John's earlier pics helped her figure out which halves she needed to try. My point is that they did not have any other halves that could get to 15x10 and tuck in decently.

I thought you have a 3" per side narrowed rearend?

I'm sorry. Yes, I have 3" off each side of the rear. BTW, what's your car running on motor alone? We have a similar setup, motor wise, and I ran a 10.817@125.69, 1.50 60.

The grinding that was required was all on the top of the caliper. I had to grind the part of the ribs on the caliper that were directly above the brake pads smooth. See link to the picture below.
It was more grinding than I wanted to do but much less than other wheels require.
I do not think that 93-97 (LT1) brake calipers would need any grinding at all.
