wheels
 
What size prostars will fit the back of a ls1 camaro. I know 15" of course and 5x4.75 bolt pattern but what width and back spacing works?

usp55 09-25-2009 02:07 PM

15x10 7.5" rear

3.5" are 1.75" fronts

gona have to upgrade the studs and do some grinding on the calipers


edit/update: thats what i had when i was looking for rims for my camaro but wanted to double check since i wasnt sure if lt1/ls1 brakes were different. I did some searching and found this to confirm on a ls1,

"I finally finished up installing my Prostars 15x10 7.5" backspace on my car tonight. You will need to:

Grind rear calipers down about 1/4" so the rims don't rub on the calipers

Install 3.25" ARP wheel studs so you can properly tighten the wheels

Use shank style open ended lug nuts of you want to drag race with them

Also i used a 5/16" wheel spacer for a little extra clearance

There is no inner fender bending, hammering necessary if you do what i did. Hope this info helps out..."

You will have to do ALOT of grinding... even with my spacer... I was on each side for about 3 hours...
