can you use 15x8 rims on a 98 camaro in the front? on a ls1 camaro with the bigger brakes than a lt1
can you use 15x8 rims in the front with spacers
and not have your tires/rims hangin outside the fenders
in the front? this is my every day car and i need to rotate my
tires so i want the same rim and tires all the way around
I am looking at a set of cragar street stars
15x8 with a 5.25 back spacing 5 x 4.75
a guy locally has a set of these for sale
http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp
and I was wondering what hurdles i am goign to have to jump if i
buy them besides shaving the calipers in the rear . and when I am
all done are they going to stick outside the fenders kinda like
convo pros do?
is it even possible to use a 15x8 rim on the front of a ls1 car
if you are limited by a 5.25" backspacing?
it seems like the fornt brakes just wouldnt clear.
i was thinking they will windup stickin outside the fenders
am i wrong?

They won't clear the front brakes. If you could see how much you have to grind off to make the 15x3.5s with 1.75" bs fit then you'd know why. If you go to 15s you just won't be able to rotate. But the 165R15 tires are usually $25-30 a piece so it's not too big of a deal.
