Best I can tell from center of my rotor to edge of calipar is 6 13/16 or 6.8125X2= 13.625". Not looking good for these wheels, to bad they look great.

I'm glad the LTx 4th gen has smaller rear brakes Maybe that would be something to consider if you've got your heart set on a 15" wheel that's easy to fit.....

The new centerlines do not fit over LS1 brakes. My car used to have ground down calipars and prostars on it, and when those new Ceneterline wheels first came out we ordered a set and tried them, and they wouldn't fit.

Thanks for the heads up I just ordered one to see if Icould make it work. Willing to do a little grinding but not that much.

need to get some shots tomorrow was too dark and cramped and i only had my cell phone. The car has adj. coilovers all around i think the front neds to come up a bit, also might add some spacers on my custom upper a arms to get some camber back out.

I have a feeling that's going to look strange with such a big tire in the front.

width wise? I plan on having them narrowed at some point. I actually think they look better than the 17/15 alumastars. the front alumastar has such narrow long spokes that it makes it look a little too big compared to the rear

they are 215's compared to 165's on most skinnies. not a HUGE difference. I got the tires for 20 bucks or i would have stretched some 195's on there but like i said dont want to spend a bunch on 7'' wide tires. I'm going to have them narrowed locally for 300 bucks before too long. just needed to get the car rolling for next weekend. going away for a 10pt cage

Gonna be hot when they're narrowed. I can't figure out why BS hasn't caught onto that yet, and made a 17x4?

I like the thin spoke front, thick spoke rear look. I think thin spoke rear rims look weird, which is why I generally don't like Greg Weld rears, BS wheels, ect. But again it's all personal preferance, and if it wasn't that way, we'd all roll around looking the same, and how boring would that be!

Looks perfect from here except for the camber just what I was looking for but need some better pics. Sure front runners look bads *** but drive like **** on the street. I want a front tire with a decent contact patch for stoping and turning.

from a side shot you wouldnt be able to tell what width it was so how would it look better. also the front bumper is off in that pic which lets you see the tire if it were on you would be able to even tell how wide it was from that view
