Bump for pics on the car, did that FAB9 show up yet? those are awesome looking wheels you have there.
I just ordered my MWC FAB9 cut 3" from each side today. I am running a set of Bogarts also. I have the welded Floyd R/T which looks pretty similar to what your have, I think its just the lighter drag wheel version. I still need to order the new rears. I was going to order with a 4.5BS but if a 5"bs like you have will fit and tucks nicer I would rather do that.
heres a pic of how close mine look to yours(I have the billet caps on it now, also pay no mind to all those pieces of blown motor haha).

No rear yet. :~(
Only difference between the Floyds and the GT is the 45* chamfer on the spokes on the GTs. I had to ask because I couldn't see the difference in the pix I've seen.
As soon as I have the rear installed and wheels on, I'll get pix ASAP. Promise.

Rear is here. Came last week. 8 1/2 weeks from order. I'm still mid-install, but will post pictures when it's on the ground with the wheels/tires on.

Gettin' close to having it on the road. Still need exhaust (3 1/2" custom Y with 3 1/2" to 4" Flowmaster merge into Magnaflow dumped before the axle).
The Midwest rear jacked the rear up like Joe Dirt's Hemi. lol. Cut 1 1/4 coil off and did the heater hose mod. Fender lips are rolled, too. Looks great, but might be too low for driveways, etc.

It looks awesome, thanks for the pics. I like the differance just that extra 1/2" of b.s. makes on apparence pulling the wheel in the quarter better. I was just reluctant to order 1K$ worth of rear wheels without seeing it or knowing that it would fit right. to confirm your Fab9 is cut 3" per side and the bogarts are exactly 15x10 W/5" B.S. ? Do you have the bumpstops cutout and BFH mod done? how close is it on the inside?
Mine sits about that same height now, so i'll probably try to get it back down after my MWC9 swap.

Narrowed 3" per side. 15X10 with 5" backspace. My mechanic modified the bumpstops by narrowing them (I think) and did a lot of BFH'ing for clearance. Honestly, I haven't really had a chance to see what he did with the car on a lift, yet. I hope to be able to watch some of the exhaust fabbing tomorrow and Saturday and get a look at what he did then.
BTW, I decided to order the billet caps for the rear. Thought I'd like the "race-car" look without them, but ended up not really liking that look.

For the bump stops I actually just used a Sawzall to cut and remove about a 1/2" of the mount and then used my grinder to smooth and re-shape the bumpstop rubber part. This gave us plenty of clearance when the vehicle is lowered. At stock ride height it was too close IMO. I cut the factory z28 springs 1 and 1/4 coils for the end height.
Here is how it looks with the rear at its final height the front will need to come up another 1/2-3/4 of an inch...
