Itll fit, yeah, but the contact patch isnt right. For all the 315s Ive seen, the rim size in 10.5 Min. to 12 max and 11" is optimal... Ive been wanting these wheels since Ive seen them. I LOVE the outter lip

They look real nice.A warning though.I installed aset on a friends car with Wilwood brakes and we need spacers on the front wheels and also shorter valve stems.
The only thing I don't like about them is the valve stem placement.Seems like the hot brake dust could melt the valve stem causing a leak.

Time for some clear corners and no front plate Jeff, then you'll have a decent looking car

Discount Tire Direct has them. I ordered mine online from them.

Has anyone else had a problem with their valve stems rubbing the break calipers on the front?

you have the wrong value stems then, they make them in different lengths. My stem is only an inch long and are no where close to the rotor or caliper. If they are close then you need a shorter stem.

00NBMCamaro- what is your spring, shock setup? I think your car sits perfect, please let me know i want that exact look!!

my valve stems have touched the calipers..i can see a little of my classy red paint has been scraped off .... but its not that big of a deal. although i am fearing putting air in them after after i get done driving somewhere and touch the rotor with my hand...

my spring/shock combo is eibach pro kit and bilstein HD's

got the wheels and tires from Todd at DTD for 1440 ish

and ross no clear corners.. but the plate will come back off when we are done with all these tickets...

Thanks

He has weld in boxed BMR subframes... I think they changed the design now though where they dont hang down as far.

You're killing me Jeff without clear corners
