Awesome I never new that. Thanks for the info. It's off the ground because the lugs weren't deep enough....they only grabbed like 2 threads. But it fit no problem. They're the rears of a foxbody.

I didn't know a 15" wheel would fit a 11.928" rotor. Thats really cool!
For all of you gxp peeps, we can down size to the 2 piece f body rotors from baer beaks. P/n 2301006. Then use the monte/impala ss calipers and brackets. If you are worried about stopping power, then use the matching bare 4 piston calipers.
Keep in mind though that the 04-08 gtp uses 11.69" rotors with single piston calipers. The 2 piece rotors weigh 13.8 lbs each vs 24 lbs stock 12.7" gxp rotors.
Thats dam near 20lb weight rotational saving. With the 12" rotors I recommended using 93-97 rx7 wheels with a 26x10.50x16 mt et drags.
The wheels are super light 13-16lbs and are 16x8" with a 50mm offset. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 but they will work for strip use.
The stock wheels are over 24lbs.
