yes ...stock brakes and they would need grinding to get them to fit or spacers as well.

fronts could not be run without spacer due to the pad retaining clips

quarter lips are cut for safety, but there an 1/8 or so there

thanks again for the compliments

just to clarify, these will not fit stock LS1 brakes, only stock LT1 or drag brakes, correct?

i remember that huge thread about these wheels, and I don't want the LS1 guys getting all excited for nothing.lol

no need for more weight or rolling resistance

The 275's have worked on cars into the 7's, so I am sure they will be fine on my mid 10 sec ride.
