I finally got the new wheels on my 2002 Z28. Fronts were back ordered for 1 1/2 months.
Fronts: Weld rts low brake 15x5 w/3.5" b.s (moderate caliper grinding). Hankook 205/75/15.
Rears: Weld rts medium brake 15x10 w/7.5" b.s. (slight grinding of the cooling fins). M/T radial 295/55/15

I knew I was going to have to grind the fronts because of the low brake. But not the back with the medium brake. The medium brake is suppose to fit over the Ls1 calipers but took very minor grinding for the rears. The front on the other hand took quite a bit. The reason I went with the low brake for the front it for the back spacing.
