Default My GW and Summit star wheels are on.

Finally pushed the car out of the garage to get some pics. Cant wait to finish the paint and get motor set back in. No grinding needed front or back for this setup.

15x3.5 Greg Weld fronts (165R/15 Nankang CX688)

15x8 (5.5 bs) Summit Star rears. (275/50/15 M/T Drag radial)

With this width and back spacing, some have to grind, others dont have to.

They do, but centercaps on the rear wheels are for the gays. Looks much better without rear centercaps.

They did come with center caps, but they are pretty plain and boring. Plus I dont run them in the back anyway. Like to show off the moser axles and the rim is not deep enough to run them anyway. At least thats how how feel.

No spacers. Fronts were made to fit w/out grinding on the calipers. And as for the backs, They are very close but fit. And with a spacer on a camaro w/ the 5.5 bs, I think they would almost be sticking out to much for me. They are close now.

Yea, I had prostars on my last Z28 and liked them. Granted they're not as light. But for the price, u cant beat them I looked every where for some Weld 15x10's used but couldnt find any. So i opted for this and not upset one bit about it.
