Default running greg welds come in...

Ok so i just got a hell of a deal on some 15x3.5 and 15x10 greg welds. Now my question is the came off of a 03 cobra with the dual lug pattern. The lug pattern will work on mine but my concern is the back spacing he said he thinks the rear back spacing is a 6.5. Will these work on my car or will they stick out on the rear? I know the rears need 7.5 on our cars to tuck on the rear.

I have Weld Alumastar fronts, and Weldstar R/T rears. True bolt on wheels. No grinding at all with OEM LS1 brakes.

Greg Weld fronts dont need any grinding whatsoever. But the rears are a different story. I tried to fit a set of them and had to replace a caliper I ground so much of it off. Although I have seen people do it, I wouldn't recommend it.

But as for the 6.5" BS. They will fit. I have always ran 6.5" BS on my wheels.

you are right i installed the fronts today. No grinding and no spacers needed. Fit great. Still not sure that i like the 3.5" in the front. If i can find like a 6" for the front i might go with that. Not even sure if greg welds made this size.
