3" off each side. 275/60/15 tire so no BFH needed for me. Bumpstops are still on, no rubbing at all... PLENTY of room. Wish I could afford the new 295/55/15, but this tire will work just fine for now. Thanks for the kind words. Stop the order, and save some change on a set of these. Hard to beat $260 a wheel.

Wow, those are some NICE wheels!

I think I found my new wheel setup. I had picked up some greg welds that I was going to throw on my new Moser 9" and spend some money on drag brakes, but now I want to sell them and pick up a set of those with the black centers! Damn man your car looks great.

And this style of wheel will clear the stock LS1 brake calipers? No grinding required? Are you running any spacers in the front or the rear?

Well on the front I am still running Pro Stars and I did have to grind a little on the calipers for those to fit. No spacer. For the rear, with the R/T's, from the pictures in the first post I made for the thread you can see that they clear without any grinding. No spacer on the back either. Hope that helps. Thanks to everyone for their positive comments.

I've been considering narrowing my 9" for awhile......but with those wheels I think you just convinced me this must be done ASAP !!! I think the RTS w/out the bolts will match my greg weld fronts pretty good.....

With 3" cut off each side, are you able to retain the factory LCA's and mounting points? Can you keep the e-brake?

With Eric's fab 9, yes I was able to keep the e-brake, and use all the factory mounting points. It was almost too easy. Hardest part was routing the brake lines to look good since 3" of housing on each end was suddenly missing, but with a little time and effort, everything looks fine. Helps that Eric welds on clips to hold the brake lines. I am so glad I went with his... especially considering the weight is just about the same as my stock 10 bolt. I agree, I think your Greg Weld's up front would look just fine with these R/T's out back. Deep dish = yummy. Get to narrowing, lol.

Looks nice... Just make sure you flip flop your rear tires your directional rotation is backwards...
