Fitted mine tonight and found the didn't fit (before I found this post). Looks like I guess I'm going to have to send them back to Summit when the new ones come out. Thanks to everybody with the info!

Is anybody else having problem with the offset washers on the back wheels? On the back of the packaging of the Greg Weld lugs it says that on 5 lug setups to use the offset washers and to use the regular centered washers on a 4 lug setup. There was no way in hell I could get them on using the offset ones, had to use the regular centered washers to get them on for testing purposes at least.

The washer thing had me really confused. The first time I put them on the only thing that would work was offset ones, and putting them back on I couldnt get them to work for anything, so I used the centered ones that also came in the package, and they fit perfect....

Do the 15x10's with the 6.5" backspacing clear the brakes? (i could just shorten my axle an inch on each side. Or is this only the 15x8's that are having issues?

shortening your axels to get cheapo rims to fit seems a bit much

Considering 90% of the options available ATM are the same, other than Bogarts, doesnt seem a bit much. I am ordering a complete rear end shortly and this would obviously help my decision making process.

UPDATE

The 15X10 with a 7.5 BS will be on the next shipment of the REVISED wheels.

The wheels are expected in about 30 days still. They had some short overcomings to get out of the way first.

Ah damnit, so here is where I try to make a decision, lol. Wait for the 7.5 bs, or deal with the 6.5. I think I'll wait and pray...

Thanks for the update.

can I take my 15x8's and get replacement 15x10's since i was going to get them down the road anyway? If there is a cost difference I know I would have to cover that but i got the 8's since they said they wouldn't have the 10's for months.

in a way yes. just return your wheels now (as long as they are new). and then wait for the new ones to come out

I dont get why people keep buying these when its posted all over that they WILL NOT fit. No matter what size, backspace or what, the REAR rims WILL NOT FIT.

Keep in mind that most people have already purchased them and just waiting for the wheel to come in. A friend of mine got his last week and he ordered them 2-3 months ago....
