On Summit's website they don't list the back space which is why I went a looking.
Good to know a 5.5" is what's needed for a 15x8 wheel though.
Now we just need to know if caliper grinding is required.
If not I may do the same combo...
Additionally if you haven't mounted them I'd send them right back, see if you have a buddy who works for a company that can ship them for you and get a discount, I do it for my friends all the time lol.
I will post up regarding the caliper situation when I get off work.

Hey someone has to provide some entertainment around here this place is getting a bit stale lately! I just thought it was funny how you called it a slight oversight. Being a machinist I'm a bit of a perfectionist so my big oversights are usually things taking 5x as long as I think it should lol.

Touche. Used to be a machinist myself back in the late 90s, ran a daewoo puma 250....then worked my way up to a Warner swasey (Goss type machine) and ran 4 inch parts for the oil field.

I am happy to report that the wheels clear the calipers just fine.

Good deal, looks hella close though, but maybe its the angle of the pic. Hopefully the gap is something decent.

I hope you change the studs out for at least ARP's, I think the extended stud is required regardless.

SCT in Noble, OK?

While those wheels look awesome, if those are 15x10 with 0 offset, they're gonna look like Joe Dirt with tires mounted.

Seems to be, haven't measured though. Eyeballing it... it looks close.

Oh ok my bad. I looked for the wheels and they dont sell a 0 offset 15x8. The 15x8 with 5.5 bs was 27mm offset, if the calipers clear you should be golden.

Let us know what it runs!

They carry 0 offset 15x8s.... but you are right about the 5.5 b.s. I initially told my buddy I think the car will go a 10.50, but I've since changed my position. I believe it will go faster, but I'm just going to let the timing system do the talking.

I think they fit on the car, but don't fit the car. They are going to hang outside the fender a little. Just trying to help
