Weld RT-S 15x10 or 15x8 rears??? im ready to pull the trigger on some weld rt-s rears and wanted some opinions on whether to run the 15x8's or 15x10's. I plan on running a 275/60/15 tire so i was thinking of going with the 8's and would also save a little rotating weight, but then again wouldnt mind running the 10's and trying the m/t 295/55/15 either. I dont know im undecided. What do you think guys, i need help!

well i received some pics from another board member here of the 8in vs. 10in wide wheels and after seeing them has me leaning towards the 10in wheel for sure. The 10in wheel will definetly leave me more tire options as well if i do decide to do something other than a 275 i guess...

Yes, stock LT1 brakes all around (no grinding). Front wheels are Alumastar 2.0's 15"x3.5" with 2.25" back spacing. I do run a 1/8" spacer but if my pads weren't new I could probably get away with no spacer at all. I have a friend with '99 T/A who runs Alumastars with the same back spacing and stock LS1 brakes but runs a 1/4" spacer.

Is this setup recommended for street driving? I love the look, and want more traction, but i rarely go to the track. I know the tires would wear faster, but my camaro is a weekend only car anyways. whats the difference between this setup and say a zr1 17x11 305 rear wheel. Which would get better traction?

Im new to the forum but have a similar opinionated question. Will upgrading to a approx 28" rear OD tire cause the ABS and brake lights to come on? I've searched a little and seen that some owners are having problems when they run two different size tires front and back. I plan on keeping my car a daily driver and would really prefer to have my ABS.
