You will also need a spacer.

Actually from what I read they should just bolt right up.

Here's the part list for anyone who's interested.

Who did you hear this from? They do fit with less grinding but no way you won't have to grind on a 15X8 5.5 rim.. IF you grind enough you *might not have to use a spacer.. But I would rather grind less and use a spacer.

i just installed a set of these summit stars on my SS and I used 7/32 spacers on the front and rear. no grinding and no rubbing. i have the ws6 store drilled and slotted rotors on my car too. i have plenty of stud thread for the lugnuts to bite on. i think they look great !!

you guys have any issues with the caliper on the LS1 brakes hitting the rim on the summit stars?

it seems that my summit stars 15x8 w/ 4.5" bs hit the front face of the caliper when i try to install them.

this is what the inside of the wheel looks like..



that chamfer before the hub is what hits the front surface of the caliper.. anyone else have this issue?

thanks
