Default Weld RTS wheels are on
Thanks Weld for making a great looking wheel at an affordable price. They're also pretty light too, about 15 lbs for the 15x10.

I'm fairly certain he's talking about not liking the silver ZR1 wheels in the OP's pictures, since he only has Weld rears, instead of fronts too.

From what I hear no grinding is necessary with these. Front or back. And I don't think a 275/50/15 would require any BFH with what appears to be stock ride height.

Weld advertises that they fit without any caliper grinding, but I had to grind just a little bit on the rear calipers to make them fit without touching. No BFH is required for a 275/50/15.

Those look nice! You can run up to a 295/55 without breaking out the BFH! F bodies come with 275's so not a chance of needing a BFH unless you order the wrong back spacing!

thats wghat I heard- its hit or miss if they fit without any grinding. I ordered the aerospace for the rear just to be on the safe side.
