my front bumper is kinda messed up lol, had a small fender bender. havent put my front's on yet still waiting for the tires to arive, from summit.
There's just something sexy about seeing a car with fat drag wheels and tires that don't match the front. Kinda like that girl at the bar who you know looks trashy but you still think she's hot.

BTW: for everyone that wants to do this, dont be afraid to pound the hell out of the inner fender, cause it rubs a lot. infact that tire wont move with out pounding the hell out of it lol
cutting the bump stop completely off and that area above the bump stop is important too. its a lot of work either for the LS1 guys or LT1's

correct, cause the rim centers on the lug stud and theres lots of tention on the stock stud. high chance for it to snap while cruzing.

Thats all I took, will post more on tuesday or wednesay after getting fronts fitted.
thanks for the comments.
Use paint to help you grind caliper down. spray some paint fit the wheel and grind where it rubs, repeat it till it clears. BTW: youll have to torque the lug nuts down each time to get the best results.
Front prostar or draglite are 15X3.5 and 1.75 backspacing. The tires i use MT 26.00 X 7.50 - 15's
