alumastars, do they fit? spacer or not? anyone run these up front? 15X3.5's i think i've seen these on a few LS1's but i dont know if they'll clear our factory break setups.
They wont fit with some major work or using aftermarket drag rotors/calipers.
If you are going to go to the higher-priced lighter weld alumastar rims, you may as well consider the bogart alumalights or similar P2 series which would be in the same class rim...they are lighter then the welds:-)

nice to know.
im not considering buying them, i had an offer to borrow a set, and i figure that they will fit w/ a spacer. thanks fellas.

I wasn't referring to using a spacer, you can get just about any rim to fit with using a variety of size spacers. If a rim needs a spacer, to have it an intergral part of the rim is the best method.
In comparison, the bogart P2 generally speaking are MORE then a 1 lb lighter per wheel! As previously mentioned, these are not a direct fit for LS1's.
I believe the aluma stars fronts are ~9.5 and the rear are ~10.5...I may be a little off on these numbers, they are easily attainable by calling up weld for the specs. Our P1 rims which I built to be a direct fitment for LS1 and LT1's fronts come in lighter and the rears are almost exactly the same. I'm not stating the welds are terrible rims by any means. I feel there are better options using our rims.
Bogart rims are the lightest rims available anywhere.
