I used to drive my 86 MCSS everyday, so the Camaro is a blessing on gas even if the cost per gallon is high. I appreciate the info. Did either of you grind the calipers to put on wheels? Had any problems? I am going to buy some new wheels and tires soon. I have been thinking about buying some factory SS wheels or some draglites. I have a Z-28 with the 16x8's. Not which way I'll go.

Yeah but the Desiel tows the heavy T/A of mine like a dream. I got a really good deal on the truck or else i would have been riding in a gas burner.
I ground my calipers. It takes a while to get the wheels to fit just right. Look into spacers. Some wheels don't require any grinding. I know that the Weld Pro-stars do but the XP's don't. you will just pay a little more for the XP. I have not had any problems out of them being grinded either.
