Default Convo pros on My T/A

took some pics of the car today, getting ready to go the the track this weekend if my bottle heater comes in. By the way the wheels fit with absolutely no grinding of the calipers at all.

Looks really good, I have seen them on a couple cars but was unsure if I liked them, your car pulls them off nicely. Must be nice not to have to grind anything down, damn prostars.

Yeah, I am very happy with the way they look on the car, Thats what I have always loved about white cars, alot of guys think of the color as plain, but it is a very easy color to accent and looks great, This is my 3rd white F-body. And yes it is very nice not to have to grind anything. I have a QP ford 9" in the car but still use the stock brakes, to be honest as far as clearance goes, I actually have the sticky balancing weights on the inside of the rim so there is some room in there

Everything I have read says that the LT1 brakes are smaller than the LS1 cars, so I would say that you should have no problems with fitment. The specs on the wheels i have are
fronts 15x3.5 26inch M/T frontrunner
rears 15x8.5 with 5.5 inches backspacing

I have heard alot of the guys run the 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing on these cars I just got a good deal on these wheels so the 8.5 is what I have. The slick is a 27x9x15 street tires for mine are 275/50/15
