All the specs check out, but it's a 15. Will it fit over the brakes you have?

After some research I don’t think they will work without extensive mods. I had Welds back in the day and I ground down the calipers and they worked just fine…. but on this VMS rim setup it says no more than 6.5” from center of axle to top of caliper. No way in hell would it work with the calipers even when they are ground down. I know I kind of answered my own question, just curious if anyone had any real world experience with these.

Anyone ever have any input on this? Started looking into these myself. Haven’t been able to find a definitive answer. Thinking I will do some measuring and worse case order the wheels and try them out.

Are you putting these on an FBody? If you ever get an answer or find out please post an update.

it’s always nice when an old thread has a solution
