sweet, deal. I have been waiting for these to come out and totally forgot about them till now.

I will be ordering a set soon, is it true they are only offering a 6.5 backspace on the 15X10's? How much would that make my tire stick out on the firebird/ what would be the biggest tire I could run?

Can't wait to see these things on a f-body.

Yes they are only making the 10" in a 6.5 BS. BUT, I ran 6.5BS 15x10 Prostar on my car for a long time with 275/50R15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials. They never hit and in my opinion looked meaner than hell.

I got the wheels from a buddy of mine that was running them with a 325/50R15 on his 01 Firehawk. He said every now and then they would hit his outer fender and cut into the very edge of the tire. But he did not roll his fender lips. And on top of that he did not have to do ANY modifying to the inner fender well to get them to fit.

I think I am going to go ahead and order a set of the 6.5" BS wheels and use them. I will be rolling my fenders in a few weeks so when I do run 325's they won't hit.

Do these wheels clear LS1 brakes without grinding the calipers? Most 15's from other companies require a ton of grinding to fit over LS1 brakes and still some grinding to fit over LT1 brakes.

i told summit my car info and they told me what lugs i needed. Fitment is supposed to be like bogarts no spacers etc needed. This has been brought up and asked 10 or 15 times now.
as far as fitment this should answer the question(hazard2k posted)

no grinding or anything for fronts at least, backs are supposed to fit the same also

Slowmaro95Z28

Thanks a ton. I didn't know if this was brought up since I never heard of these wheels until a few months ago. They look great and may end up on my car in a few months after my cam install.

those look hot.

i would really like to see a set on the rear before i go buying anything. i want nothing to do with grinding, the calipers were made that size for a reason. but wow they just look so good. how much are they going for?

lca, exhaust, air boxes, wheels were also made the way they were for a reason, but we modify those
if you read the facts i posted above it says no grinding. That was from boyd. I'm sure they did there homework before they produced the rims and went public saying they will not need grinding. I paid under 550 for wheels and all the lugs
