Got my Weld R/T wheels

Our P2 wheels are unlike our P1 series wheels which use a different process, materials and design.
Camaro396, the rear wheels looks great. It's a shame the front runners have only 1.5" of backspace. (not sure if you were getting them or not). +
sr71, our RR bolted rt's are the exact design as our P1 bolted rt's, so I'm a bit confused regarding your response. Not every wheel design is for everyone, I respect your opinion.

The 4" wide fronts at 1.5" backspace will have the same outer lip location as the 10" rears at 7.5" backspacing. The outer wheel flange is 2.5" outboard of the mounting surface of the wheel. A 4" front at 1.5" backspace looks perfect with the 10" rear at 7.5" backspace. The outer section of the tire will be just flush with the fender lip.
Also, race wheels will accept a 5/8" stud.

but, that is the only set of bogarts that ever impressed me.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but praise for a new design for folks to consider. They are very nice looking and a nice addition for the Mustang and Camaro crowd looking for a street wheel, but I don't agree with 1.5" being acceptable sizing for the masses. I understand why they are designed as such and I know it can't be altered due to design.
I feel many aren't going to feel comfortable with it. Many people do not like the look of a prostar using a 5/16" spacer on a 1.75" wheel this is almost the same. From the front or rear shot, the wheels will stick out like a sore thumb. I strongly feel that fender lip interference on the fronts will be an issue as the tire will be sitting under the lip, not behind it.
Shots directly from the side or with an angled front wheel are the pictures people will probably post.
Generally speaking on a stock F-body, backspace and fitment typically is 1.75-2" for the front. For the rears, 7-8".
