Well after getting my concerns sorted out:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...mal-uh-oh.html

I decided to put things together and test fit a few things with the new rear end. I took more pictures than what you see, but these few I had to share... yet to see this style of R/T on any other F-Body so I thought you guys might be interested.





And of course these are built to clear the stock calipers, but I had to test and make sure.



Can the drooling begin now?

 

I'll be the first. Can't wait to see on the car pics should add alittle bit of traction with that rear end

 

Indeed... if nothing else at least I won't be worried about grenading the poor 10 bolt anymore. Big thanks to Midwest Chassis for the housing, axles, torque arm, and lower control arms. I'm amazed by the weight! Their work is second to none. You've got to love a big dish on a narrowed rear. Yummy. Thanks for the kind words.

 

What's the backspacing on those rims and how much is it narrowed?

 

Took 3 inches off each side of the rear... 4.5" of backspacing. I should have it bolted into the car tomorrow, and I'll try to snap some pictures to share as well.

 

Wow those look sick.

 

cant wait to see it all in the car

 

Love the dish, those are gonna look sick

 

Daaaaaamn that's hot. Great looking rims, and a perfect lip.

 

I like those!! Get the rear in the car so we can see um!!!!

 

I must say, I like those more than my Prostars. I may have to switch.

 

Here's the kicker... $260 a wheel! Can't beat that. Rear is under the car, should be all bolted in later this afternoon. 11:00 a.m. here now. Waiting for some paint to dry on some things and then it's time to bolt things up. Stay tuned. Thanks for the kind words guys. Gordo... I'm responding to your PM now.

 

man those wheels look badass.

 

Well seeing as noone else noticed it, one of the tires will have to be turned around, becasue they are directional. LOL the wheels look good tho.

 

LOL... good catch. I've shut down operation for the day so I can enjoy dinner with my wife and I think I have enough battle wounds for one Sunday. I need to get some rear end fluid and then start making adjustments on the suspension. I shot a few pictures that I'll post later tonight... I have more room with these wheels than I did with my Prostars. I seriously wish I would have gone with a 4.75" backspacing to tuck the wheel/tire a little more, but they sit pretty damn flush, so I'm happy. You'll see what I'm talking about a little later. Thanks again for all the kind words guys.

 

Can't wait to see it together!!! Wish I had that sitting under my car.

 

looking good! planning to order my set today once i hear back from jimsracingtires...however mine will be 7.5 BS so no lip

 

Very nice, what do the wheels weigh without tires? I was thinking they run a little heavy.

 

Heavy compared to what? If your comparing them to a cast chinese wheel no way. These should be as light as the RT 3 piece wheels.
Those wheels are the NEW RT-S Weld's.

 

Looks really good!
