Default Street Lite fronts Available in 2 weeks.

Already test fitted a front on a car and they work. A little grinding is required on the top of the caliper for them to work. Basically just some cleanup of the casting. Larry from speed inc can chime in for clarification as he Did the grinding on the caliper. Im sure with some worn down pads no grinding will be needed.

as you can see by the caliper before and after pics minimal grinding was done and no spacers where used

as Jason mentioned a car with worn pads/ rotors could probably get away with no grinding, but this cars brakes have low mileage

great wheel and great fit

I can't wait to get the 17's on my Bro's Bu.

Nothing is needed for the rear to fit. Just bolt on and go.(well once your tires are mounted).

The fronts As you can see require some minimal grinding. which also give you some time to paint your calipers to make your new wheels stand out some more.

fronts are a 15x4 and the rear is a 15x10.

pricing with wheels, lugs and valve stems is 1100.00 plus shipping. ( ls1 tech Special )

yes a small spacer would solve any grinding issues, but we wanted the wheel inside every bit we could on this car

The grinding is not severe. If you use a spacer you will push the wheel out past the hole.
