The rotors are the Baer Eradispeed Plus rotors which are the two piece stock replacement rotors. They are the same size as stock.

 

i want those wheels really bad but i just got some TT2's

 

So do these use the same lugs as Weld Prostars/Draglites? I have Draglites and just bought a set of these, but have not put tires on or mounted them yet. Can I re use the lugs I have?

 

Their website says:

But you should test fit them with the standard lugs and let us know how it goes.

 

SAME HERE, did some test fitting this weekend with a few different ones...




20's





15x8's







20 vs 15



17x4.5 on front(clears great)



15x3.5 on front(clears great)



The 15x8 rears will NOT CLEAR my lt1 brakes that have already been ground down to fit weld prostars. They know this issue and are redesigning them so they should fit, no good eta when they will be out with the new designed ones to clear the rear brakes. Other than that these wheels look great, ESPECIALLY IN CHROME.

 

OK, I called Greg Weld and they told me that the 15x10's would clear fine. If I get mine and they don't fit I am going to be ******* pissed!

 

Edittttt

 

I pulled out one of my Weld lugs and washers, and they seem to be fine. They seat in the rim perfect, but dont quite go to the end of the wheel hub or whatever you want to call it, flush. Its about a 1/4 short.

 

Skinnies.. How much do those 17" front weigh?.. I test fitted a 15x3.5 on the front of a cobra.. NOT even close... GW said that the 17x4.5" star wont be out til end of summer.

 

New designed wheel for lt1 or ls1 brakes? I dont mind griding my calipers ir running a small spacer! Do you think the 15x8's will fit better with a spacer? did you try?

 

we tried the 15x8's on his brakes that were ground down and it was still touching. We were going to try them on my car with stock ls1 brakes but didnt see the need to at all, since it didnt even fit his.

 

I wonder if the 15x10s 6.5BS have the same hitting the brakes issue.

 

failure... yet again..... didnt they try to see if they cleared after they made a set??? or just pray they fit and mass produced them???

 

I got off the phone with a guy at Greg Weld and he said that they tried them on a 2000 Z28 and they fit with no problems. I told him people couldn't even fit them on a LT1 and he was like yea but they fit on a LS1. Doubtful. Oh well I will get my 15x10 with a 6.5" BS in a few weeks and try them, if they don't work I guess I'll send em back.

 

It would only make sense for the guys at GW to produce a protoype, then test fit on various popular cars instead of just making a general mold tofit "most" cars...

 

I don't see a spacer helping at all, they don't hit the spokes.

Their is NO WAY they would clear ls1 brakes.

 

i know they're offering some different backspacings of these wheels later on, anyway there will be some 17x11s? if not, how hard/expensive would it be to get some widened to 11"? these things are sick

 

Thats bull. I called and lied saying I had a 2000 Z28 and the guy said that some of the higher end packages on these cars included bigger rear brakes! WTF what a crock. Didn't say anything about redesigning them or anything to me, just said my only option besides brake modification would be to go with a 17" wheel. Sorry...not gonna...

 

im local with them and working with them on getting these right.

they are going to do a 15x10 with a 7.5'' backspace
they are working on redoing the rears to fit. No ETA as of now.
No 15'' wheels will fit in the rear without unsafe grinding amounts currently.
the fronts fit without spacers without grinding, perfectly.

I expect an update from them the next day or two on when the rears should be ready.

hang in there everyone!

 

the 15x8 5.5 backspacings are not out yet. That is the proper backspacing to fit accorind to the company. They were supposed to ship today however they will not be until may 17th now. This is the newest update. Of course 15x8 with a 4.5 backspacing will not fit who are you trying to kid

Notice the key differences
Now for the 1st graders that need pictures

finally notice the distance between the where it mouts and where the spokes come out there is a cap. Combined they should fit. They didnt lie about the front highly doubt they are about the rear
