I haven't seen a set that will fit on the front with out grinding, I had to grind mine and the wheels was flush with the fender, in the rear make sure if you get some 10's get 7 inches of backspace

The rear are 15x10 7.5 BS and the fronts are 15x7 4.5 BS both are "medium pad".

Back tires are Nitto 555R 275/50/15

Front tires are Goodyear Eagle GT 225/65/15

Let me get this straight. You fit a 15" wheel with a 4.5" BS on the front of your car without ANY grinding/spacers? What kind of brake setup do you have?

I'd like to run a 15 x 5 medium pad wheel with 3.5" BS with 98-02 front brakes, which should clear if your wheels clear like you say they do, and also tuck in nicely like a stock wheel. I don't like wheels/tires that stick outside of the top of the fender AT ALL; it looks

Keep in mind his LT1 front brakes are smaller than LS1 brakes. Not saying they wouldn't fit on a LS1 front setup because I have no experience with anything larger than 4.5 width on the front.

Gotcha, and I just looked on Weld's site and they don't make a 15 x 5 medium pad wheel in 3.5" BS, only 2.5" BS. WTF.
