Weld Wheel is in KC. They told me 16 X 8's or 17 X 9s would bolt right on with no caliper grinding on my 98 Z28.

Give them a call and ask.

Summit description:

Wheel, Series 196, 16 in. x 8 in., 5 x 5 in./ 135 mm. Bolt Circle, 4 1/2 in. Backspace

Weld Racing's Pro Star XP wheels are made from cold-forged aluminum and polished to a mirror-like finish to make them not only strong and lightweight, but attractive as well. The wheels are strong enough to handle all types of street driving, and will reduce your vehicle's unsprung weight--thereby lowering your ETs and improving handling. Plus, they're available in larger diameters to fit most late model performance cars, designed with increased caliper clearance for popular brake upgrades, and come with a push-through center cap.
