I got a decent price on mine too, well cost, since I work at a speed shop and Greg Weld is one of our vendors, but still, a TON of grinding haha. It will be nice once the right ones come out though.

LOL doubt that. I spend 3 hours grinding on mine last night and the rears still wouldn't fit. I'm sending them back and borrowing a buddies Prostars for Track Day and then hopefully sometime this year Greg will release something that will actually fit.

Come look at my rear calipers and tell me you think its safe. As stated by 89stang, the Prostars take a little grinding but Greg's wheels take A LOT of grinding to get them to fit.

I literally spend 3 hours take off TONS of material from the caliper and the caliper mounting bracket and the wheels still hit in MULTIPLE places.

I had two extra calipers and brackets laying around so I thought I would try it just for ***** and giggles. AND I wanted some 15x10's for Track Day on Aug 2nd. Well today I am shipping the wheels back to Summit and am going to borrow my buddies Prostars for TD.

Then hopefully sometime this year when Greg gets this figured out, I will order a set of 15x10's and keep them as my own and stick the new calipers on. Because, frankly, those rear 15x10's looked SEXY, even though they were only halfway bolted on to caliper!

Exactly... grinding is not worth it. Matt knows these cars too. It wasnt just a hack job that cause the rotors to explode.


Centerline Convo pros
Bogarts

Both fit without grinding.
