Finally got these installed on my Camaro. Ordered them from Jimsracingtires real cool guy! Total price for the 15x10 with all the lugs & shipping for direct drill was $518. Race Star offers a "lifetime structural damage warranty" also. Then I got M/T new P275/60 28" ET Street Radial Pros. Haven't been able to do any pulls on them "yet" haha. Had to do quite a bit of grinding on my brake calipers along with cutting part of my inner fender. BFH mod is a MUST which I already had done it previously.. & then I cut off my bump stops just for that extra clearance if I decide to go with wider tires.
15" dark star skinnies & lowering will be put on as soon as I can afford them. Wanna get this H/C & spray installed first! Thought about the 17" up front but imo they just look to awkward. Some people have pulled it off depending on the tire combo but I don't know prefer the 15" I plan on painting the 5 spokes black in a few weeks until I get the skinnies haha
MORE PICS AS SOON AS I CAN WASH IT!

i know the t/a's have a little more room but i just got the same wheels/tires 28" tall. i thought with these wheels you didnt have to grind the calipers? mine are already ground anyways but just sayin. did you have to roll the fenders?

Def have to grind the calipers.... Got scratches as soon as I tried to put them on
didn't have to roll the fenders. But probably will just for save keeping.

Looks awesome man. How do those tires feel on the street? Are they only ment for track use due to lack of tread or is the sidewall a little softer than the standard mt drag radials?

But in the end when you line it up next to someone & don't have to worry about ANY spinning it makes up all the difference
