the lugs are 2.25 long and i get about a 1.25 to the tip of the stud when they are tightened. That should be a better judge then turns. I use and impact gun

I don't think anyone has the rears yet. Mine are supposed to ship off on May 15th. I got my fronts about a week and a half early, so hopefully it's the same with the rears.

What size are you wondering about? Offset and BS will depend on size.

15x3.5 you want a 1.75" BS
15x10 you want a 7.5" BS

ALTHOUGH, I am going to run a 15x10 with a 6.5" BS but I have ran Welds in that size before with NO problems.

But almost everyone you talk to recommends a 7.5" BS, especially if you have a Camaro.

well thats the thing..... the same set needs to be able to fit a LT1 and LS1.... can you take yours off and put them on say a 2002? thats my main issue cause when boyd jr got on he said they fit Fbodies with no grinding or massaging but i dont know if he meant the same set can fit both 1997 and 1998 or there are 2 different sizes for newer and older Fbodies

There is only one part number, and I have the exact rims as ruckus. They fit all F bodys. You're thinking way TOO far into things man.

haha, well i like to make a right decision and make it one time...... and picking out one set of wheels to fit 2 different cars is sometimes easier than it looks...... and if you have ever bought something that was suposed to "fit right up" and it dont fit without massaging gets very agrivating..... take for instance my long tube headers i bought for my 68 camaro, you would think they bolt right up right? nope had to beat the **** out of them and if you ask the company they will say....." sure guy, they fit right up....can i get your card number and adress please? get my drift lol but anyways thanks for the info guys and sorry for the extra questions...... jake
