You have to grind your rears if they are not the f-body specific BS wheels. And by grind i mean extremely, not just a little. If you by drag brakes you don't have to do it. They fronts just a little or use a spacer.

Sure, here are some more pics. I am using a UMI adjustable PHB to center the rear, and the fender lips have been rolled:







And here are some pics from before I cut the springs 1 coil and did the rear hose mod. The height and gap almost makes it look like they stick out from the wheel wells, but they don't. With it lowered, it looks flush. I love the way these wheels sit. Also, the Toyo DRs are wide like the M/T's are and it should look more tucked with a narrower tire like the Nitto DR.

Where did you get the Toyo DR and how much if you dont mind me asking? How do you like them? Cant decide if I want to go back to the Nitto DR or try out the Toyo...

I got the tires from tiredeals4less, but it looks like they are currently out of stock on the 315s. They are stickier than the 315 Nitto's I ran on my old car, but not as sticky as the Mickey Thompson drag radials I had before. They fall nicely in between, they were cheap, and they were nice and wide. I had burst knock issues the one time I've had them to the track which hurt my 60 ft times, but they had no problem holding a low 1.7. I will probably replace them with M/T DRs when the time comes.

Thanks! I haven't seen the inserts you're talking about. Are they black inserts for the center of the spokes? I've thought about having some vinyl decals cut to insert in there to see what it looks like but haven't done it yet. Something temporary so I can remove it if I don't like them. I really like the machined surface of that part though.

Here are some more pics, sorry if I repost any of them:









































I painted my brake calipers black with silver CAMARO decals since taking those pictures too:

Awesome and thank you! A local guy also has a set on his black Formula now. For me, these are the perfect wheels. The only other ones I even considered were polished TTII for the retro look, but I am way more happy with these all around.
