Aluma stars
Aluma stars Will the aluma stars clear the calipers on a 01 camaro? I want the 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing on the rear and the 15x3 1/2 for the front. Does anyone know if they will clear the calipers?
Thanks Marcus

What? No, you're wrong. I don't know about the Alumastars, but 15x10 w/ a 7.5 backspacing should clear your stock calipers.
Don't offer advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

What makes you think he doesn't know what he's talking about? Can you provide proof the Alumastar fits WITHOUT grinding? Unless Weld has redesigned the wheel (and I honestly don't know if they have or not) then it's likely the 15" Alumastar will NOT clear the calipers without some grinding. I think his offer of advice wasn't bad or wrong at all.

I have the Aluma Star on my ride for about 5 years and I had to do a lot grinding to make them fit with a spacer. Same back spacing that you are talking about. Unless the Weld changed their design then they will not bolt right up! Look at my photo gallery and check them out

A 15" Weld Alumastar of ANY size will not fit over stock LS1 brakes. Alumastars don't even come in a 7.5 backspace.
No, YOU'RE wrong, and perhaps you should know what YOU are talking about before you tell someone at Weld Racing that they don't know what they're talking about, when it comes to their own wheels, idiot.

Unless Summit knows something that Weld Racing does not know. There is no 7" backspacing of an Alumastar on Weld's website for a 15x10 only a 3,4,5,6" backspacing.
If they did I would have already bought a set of Magnum Drags for my car already.

Who would you trust the people who make the wheel or some distributor of the wheel?

In my previuos post I said Weld's website. Go to Weld's website and you won't see one with a 7 inch backspace.

As someone who has had the wheel in discussion on my own car, and as someone who helps out with Weld Racing, I can assure you there is a 7.00" backspace Alumastar and Magnum.
