Everyday Drag Wheels? Would any of these fit my Firebird and would they be suitable for everyday highway driving?

I have no experience with the Jegs wheels, but I'll guess that they won't fit without some serious caliper grinding...I see you are in Maryland...you need to check out Jims Racing Tires in Essex..Jim stocks the Greg Weld/Race Star wheels that fit with zero mods...15x3.5s, 15x5s, 15x8s and 15x10s...They are relatively inexpensive and are a dual prupose wheel for street and strip...They are worth a look...I run them and have had zero issues...For a lot of daily driving, however, the skinny fronts aren't the best if you're trying to stop on a dime...

I have not yet seen anyone have fitment issues with the Summit or Jegs wheels on an LT1. I bought a set of Summit fast fives and they bolted directly up to my car. I would recommend them to you because they are a more heavy one piece wheel that will stand up to street abuse much better than alot of the other drag wheels out there. On the bad side, because of that they do weigh a couple more pounds than a set of Welds or the like but I'd rather suck up a few pounds of rotational mass to know my wheels wont get f***** up driving down these garbage PA roads.
Just make sure you run a suitable skinny up front because alot of the drag tires you see are for track use only. Some 8 ply M/T Sportmans would do the trick, I run all over the place with those guys.
