Alumastars on Trans Am

Does anyone have this setup? Do you have to grind the calipers or anything like that?

Your pretty much have to grind your calipers to make any Weld rims fit. I have the two piece Magnum drags and I had to grind my calipers.

I like the different look of the Magnum wheels on your car, Bad ***. How wide are they and what is the backspacing on the rear. Thanks

The rears are 15x10. I'm not really sure what the rear backspacing is on them(5 or 5.5 I think)??? I got them used from a board member and they fit with some grinding just like any other Welds.

Either grind "then polish" your calipers or just Get some wheel spacers.
