The stock LT1 rear brakes should clear 15" wheels with no problem.

I have an LT1 with Holeshots...had to grind quite a bit off...possibility someone before me put diff calipers on the car?

I need to put new brake pads on the car and will have to grind some more. Will change to these if thats the case. Is there a specific year LT1 caliper thats best for this?

Lt1 brakes will still require grinding to fit prostars and most 15" rims. Some 15's will just barley clear LT1 brakes with no grinding like Summit/jegs stars, centerline convo pros, and Billet specialties streetlites. for prostars and no grinding the only choice is drag brakes.
