Their website says:
Note: Greg Weld Lug Nuts must be used (sold separately). Standard Lug Nuts WILL NOT work for Racelite series wheels.

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.

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?

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.

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

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
