Default Weld RTS with narrowed rearend PICS!!

Well after numerous questions over the last few weeks, I wanted to add some insight. Maybe someone can get some use from this. I ordered a 12 bolt narrowed 2" per side. Well when I found out it was on its way, I tried to ordered some rear racestars (thats what I have in the front). But they dont currently makle a 15x10 with a 5.5 backspacing to fit stock brakes. So after searching on this wonderful site, I found the weld RTS. These are 15x10 5.5 backspacing, and a 275/60/15 MT drag radial. I love these wheels and fit perfect and match my front wheels pretty good! Thanks LS1tech!

I didnt realize u stepped up to a 275/60. Hope it works out well for ya. I'm afraid to go to a taller tire for no more mods than my car has. Let me know how they work.

Yeah the car is making almost 50 more rwhp, so I stepped up to a 4.10 from 3.73. And went with a 28" tire. Added a drag bar also. Hoping for some 10 second passes
