Looks sweet! Do the champion wheels clear the LT1 brakes without grinding? What about the front brakes?

Thanks! I have no idea about the fronts, the car has strange drag brakes up front with burkhardt spindles. Also I don't know about lt1 brakes but they clear ground down ls1 brakes.

You are correct after looking they are lt1 rear calipers and they have been slightly ground down. The rear end is also narrowed 3.5" per side.

Does anyone know what size wheel studs I should get for my fronts if I was wanting to get 15x5" Racestars? & also might throw a 1/2" spacer on it as well. Thank you!

Nevermind, saw it is a 275/60. Are your fenders rolled? I am getting 275 Pros and I'd like to mildly tuck them, like yours. My rear RTS' aren't low pad though, they are medium.
