Sure would be, if they offered the correct backspacing for the front wheels! Look at an Alumastar with a 2.25" backspace on the 3.5" wheel, THAT is how a front wheel SHOULD fit on a Camaro.

I am sure Billet will address this though since they did fix the rear wheels to be LS1 specific!

Default Got them put on today!

Had to grind the front calipers a little. It is aluminum and basically takes 2 minutes a side. All you are doing is putting a nice radius on the sharp edge. Cake! As for the rear we may/may not have done mine the same as others. As you can see in the pic with the rear hanging the tire was extremely close to the bumpstop. We decided to move the bump stop in at the rear point using the front mounting bolt (I have no idea why GM put a tab to make them crooked) only and a zip-tie through the rear bolt with it slid over. It isn't going anywhere. I have one pic of the car outside with the Speedlines and a couple of crappy ones I did with the wheels on inside. All four mods that we did to fit the wheels can be done in 30 minutes.

Thumbs up

The 5 spokes wheels look sweet!

I'm curious, why did you leave the rear B.S. spacers on?

Also, what B.S. did you end up using up front?

Left the rear in just in case. I also noticed they have never touched the rear which is good! As for the fronts we reused the stockers which also had never touched. Thanks for the compliments... looks a ton better in person
