Hey, kinda new to the f body scene, I noticed you're wheels have a 7.5" backspace, I found a set of 15x10's with a 6.5" backspace and wanted to make sure they will tuck under before I bought them, do you think they will? Thanks in advance, Ben

Well, that depends. I'm assuming you have a stock width rear end. That being true, they will stick out an inch further than mine that I have on now. You *might* be able to get away with it if you have a TA (wider fenders, but it will still stick out some), but with a Camaro, they will look very unsightly.

Yea its a ta & rear end is stock length, thanks for the quick response. The wheels I was actually looking at were the greg welds, but another member said they would not work because of a brake caliper issue? Summit stated some mods would have to be made to the caliper. Just dont understand why some 15x10's will work and some won't. Thanks again!

If you're on a budget, economy wheels may fit your bill and are a hard to beat when your budget is small. You will lose weight benefits as well as possibly fitment benefits when comparing to our drag wheels. Obviously our wheels are not in everyone’s budget so you'll have to take the good with the bad. Our Bogart wheels to date are the ONLY manufacture that fits the F-body without grinding and having proper fitment under the fender well (I'm discussing both front and rear wheels). We also tout the lightest direct fit wheel to boot!
