The front are 15 x 4 or 15 x 3.5 and the backs are actually 15 x 7s. I'm not sure of the back spacing because a friend of mine was actually the original owner of them and he ordered them. He got them because they were the only drag wheels he could find that would fit without spacers or grinding the brake calipers. The front tires are 165/80/15's and the rears right now are M/T Sportsman S/R's 26 x 10.0. I'm going to put either a Hoosier or M/T DR on it pretty soon in 275/50/15's like that were originally in the wheels.

He must not have looked too far, now days quite a few manufacturers build drag wheels to clear LS1 brakes. I like it though, I used to have Convo Pros on my NBM car.

He got these wheels back in around '02 I think, at the point and time I think these were the only ones around that would fit F-Bodies without grinding.

As far as a hood goes Ive been undecided wheter I like the sleek look of the stock hood or maybe a Harwood cowl hood or a Sunoco hood.

By the way thanks for all the compliments!

I like the whistler headlights more than halos but your car looks killer!!!! I'd leave the stock hood and just go with an ss spoiler
