Brake clearance?
LT1 rear brakes take a little grinding on the rears for 15x8s, more for 15x10s, but not near as much as the LS1 brakes do. On the front I think it's safe to say avoid grinding those calipers if possible, they do most of your braking. Run a 5/16" spacer, a longer stud and a 3.5" width wheel and they should work. Either that or try out the jegs brand prostar knock off, they weigh like 5 or 6 lbs more a wheel but don't require any mods to stock front LS1 brakes and use the stock style acorn lugs and stock wheel studs.

SO still unclear, if I upgrade to LT1 calipers/rotors, will I be able to fit a set of 15x10 and 15x4 without grinding? I will just need spacers and longer studs?
