1.5 fronts
7.5 rears

Yes, they will clear the calipers..make sure you get the medium pad height one.

looks great man.. I like them polished like you have wayyyy better than the black centers.. no center cap for the fronts or its not on? Like you said on RWHP the Welds look better in the 15s for sure but I still stand by my opinion for the 17s Street lites lookin better since there is only 1 picture out so far of the RTS 17s lol.

I just didnt have the center caps on in these pics...they are on there now. I was double checking everything making sure the clearance was good. Someone in this thread posted pics of some 17's, they are on a 2010 though. I will be rocking these for the street and track since it doesnt see much street time. Once I get my new rearend I will order some more with the 5.5 backspacing. Then I will finish out the rest of the build.

Why would you want to put different wheels up front...the only wheels that would look good would be the aluma stars...the front actually look great up front

Your car looks great with these wheels! I just received a set of these today for mine. I have a question concerning balancing these wheels. Does it matter where the static weight strip goes on the backsides of the wheels or is there ample clearance for the weights to clear the calipers? I am wanting to mount my tires today, but the camaro is at home and I was going to do this at work before I leave today. Any help is appreciated! Sorry for the hi-jack!

I had the weight put on the inside lip I had the weight that snaps on, not the sticky weights
