I have a 98 SS...

I like the Prostars, drag lites, etc...

What set up front/rear am I lookign to get that will fit without modification?

i can do gridning of the caliper though if need be...

i have no clue about what i can use on the front that wont throw off ABS...

 

Bogarts are the only wheels to fit with NO modifications,although Centerlines fit witrh minimal from what i have heard. not 100% sure on the ls1 cars (except for bogarts).

 

with welds for your car you will need

spacers on the front

spacers and caliper grinding on the rear


if you stick with stock diameter tires your ABS will be uneffected

 

Bogarts look really good will they work on a 5.0 stang? with a 5 lug conversion?

 

bogarts come in 4-5-6 lug bolt patterns,they will work on the 5.0.

 

Centerlines fit the rear of LT1 cars with zero modifications. Can't personally speak for the fronts, or an LS1 car though.

 

I didnt need spacers on the rear for my Welds.

 

LS1's are differnet

15x8" rim no problems
15x10" rim, you must give it the redneck backspace to fit without modifications, also you should run a 27" tall tire to avoid having to mess with things. go 7.5" back spacing and it wil tuck under nicely with modifications.

g'luck on whatever you do!

 

What about the centerline telstars. I think gm hightech used them on a project car with out having to make any changes to the wheel studs or anything. Can be used with factory style lugnuts too !

 

on my friends 98 SS, we had to grind the front calipers to get his Bogart D-10s to fit. It is rare when Bogarts are not direct bolt-on, but it does happen.

 

I have Centerline Telestars on my Firebird. The front 15x4 fit perfect. They did not need a spacer or grinding. The rear 15x8 stick out of the wheel well. I cant tell how much because the 28x10.5W Mickey Thompson sticks way off the rim and looks very stupid. But they did not require any spacers or grinding.

 

Bogart makes wheels that are specific to the 4th Gen F-Body. Steve Monte at SJM Manufacturing sells them. We put a set on George Baxter's new version of the 30th SS Convert. Direct bolt-on. In effect, the "spacer" is already welded to the wheel by Bogart. If you weigh the wheel, standard acorn lugnuts and the required studs (shorter than the Welds or other "shank" style lugs require) there is a nice weight savings over the Welds or Centerlines.

SJM Manufacturing

The Welds typically require the 5/16" spacers in the front, grinding the brake caliper fins in the back, and longer studs... typically 3".

 

If you order Bogarts don't forget to specify if you have LS1 or LT1 front brakes. Makes a big difference.

My Convo Pros fit front and back w/o any grinding.
