You can cut up to 3in off each side of the rear and run a 4.5 BS rim 10in wide wheel and not worry about min tubing or moding LCA mount location or anything.

Only problem you could run into is that if you narrow the rear say 2 inches, then you'd have to see if the 15x10/5.5 wheels will fit with your brakes. If you plan to keep stock brakes it could be a problem, it's something you'd have to find out before ordering.

They make two 15x10/7.5's, one is 93-02 F-Body specific and costs more.

BS doesn't make a LS1 hoop for their 15x10 5.5" backspace wheel. So you will have to switch to Drag Brakes.

Welds new R/Ts in 5.5" backspace however, should.
