Weld Alumastars 2.0 1 piece anodized 17 x 4.5 2.25BS (only size)
Hoosier pro street 26 x 7.5 radials
Weld RTS anodized 15 x 10.25 5.5" BS
295/55/15 M/T radials
no spacers
stock brakes
tons of room
S60 narrowed 3" on each side.
I am going to lower the rear more and tuck the tire in the 1/4 panel.
When I was researching this wheel combo, I couldnt find crap as no one other than one dude in a camaro had it. And his car sat up high enough that it would make baby jesus cry, so that didnt help. I wanted to take pictures from as many angles as I could for those wondering. I suck at taking pictures and have a POS camera. And I dont know or care to learn how to edit pictures. I am too lazy to go somewhere farther than my driveway to take nicer pictures. And the car hasn't been washed since the NMCA/LSX shootout, so its pretty dirty. Oh well. There you go.
For those that have wondered about those front wheels and fitment, there you go. Fit like a glove, zero modifications needed. Just bolt on and go. Perfect backspacing, almost like Weld designed them for this car.
EDITED - the pix uploaded are not viewable, try the lame LS1tech picture gallery or photobucket that i just added

Glad to see you sacked up and made the choice instead of worrying how it would look before ordering. They're the ****. Curious about the backspace though...as you mention 5" backspace, but the 15x10.250" wheel is only offered in 5.5" backspace...is that what you have?

black sheep that just looks mean!
Did you ever think of painting or even using vht nightshade, to get a black chrome look, to match the back wheel a little more to the front?

If you look closely at the last pic. you might be able to see where the owner of the black T/A screwed up the anodizing trying to bolt up the wheels he borrowed from the owner of the silver LT1 Camaro.
