Thanks for all the complements guys. The back space on the rears is 4.5" and obviously the rear is narrowed 3" per side. I didn't weigh them before install but if I can find my shipping statement I can give you a good estimate on weight. I love the 17/15 combo so I can still run a street tire on the front since it's 6" wide. Plus it allows me to have an smaller front bs so I can tuck the wheels in some. I personally don't like how the 15 stick out so far for brake clearance.

5x10's are 15 lbs. 15x4's are ~10.5 IIRC

Black Sheep- Car looks great man! You're right about the 17 look better due to the tuck. I bought my 15's before the 17's were available. Looking at your make me wanna order some 17's for the front of mine for road use.

It's just got some cheap springs that are supposed to be 1.8 inches. Before long it will have coilovers all around.

Did you have to do any chassis or suspension customization to run 3" short?

I've heard issues with LCA's, etc when a rear end on an F Body becomes that short.

No everything went right together. The only thing that was a pain in the *** was puttin the e brake cables back in with 3" less room.

Awesome to know. Thanks. Also sorry if I missed it, but are you running any wheel spacers?

Nope, not running any spacers. Rear is cut 3" per side and the wheels are 10" wide with 4.5" bs
