If this your car, Russ? Or is it a similar one with the wheels you want?

pro-stars look pretty much bad-ass on any car.

Sounds like a plan Do you have to shave the rear calipers on those to run the 15s?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i would thin kthe rears would be fine but what about the fronts? i've got the same calipers and rotors and 16's barely clear. or are the 15x4.5's thing enough to clear?

Do it!!!

I know on Convo Pro's you don't, but you have to sell arm,leg and 1 nut for them, the guy on Tech said you might slighty...I wanna see if the new Greg Weld Stars will work without grinding

they are actually the summit star wheels from summit racing. very similar to a weld prostar.

I have weld prostars on my 2000 SS
15x3 fronts and 15x8 rears

theoretically you have to grind the front and rear calipers to make them fit, BUT i only grinded my rear calipers. I upgraded to ARP longer wheel studs, then I'm running a 5/16 spacer on my front wheels to get the rim away from the brake caliper. its the minimum spacer u can use without the wheel touching the caliper. the wheel does stick out a tiny bit but its not noticable. if you wanted to get crazy grind your front caliper down, and it will fit like a normal wheel. but i dont feel too safe doin that on front brakes.

heres my junk on the weld prostars.

Nice pic of FMA Brad...my old office is to the left of the entrance there.

 

[Bad00SS]

[madscientist]

i did the same thing ARP studs and a 5/16 spacer for the front then grinded the rear, on my 00 z28
