New pics with the slicks!
 
After tons of grinding on the calipers, I got the 15x10 Prostars to fit! I'm running the MT ET Streets 28 x 11.5 x 15. It got washed and detailed and then I took a few pics before all the light was gone. What do you think?

Beautiful car, the slicks nice back out there. I'm gonna guess you got the headlights off ebay, do you know where from though, they look awesome.

i think you better make sure your brakes are goin to work when you need it most....god forbid they fail. its retarded that nobody makes and sells a brake kit or 16inch wheels and slicks. the car is beautiful however

Looks great, but that worries me that you said you had to grind the calipers down to get them to fit. If they truly fit that tight, any minor bump at more than a few miles per hour could cause the brakes to contact the wheels damaging both. I wouldn't want to risk it. You could be going down the track, hit your brakes, have them make contact, and then you'll make contact with a wall. :(

its very common, you have to grind for prostars. Just the way it is. So far its ok. Clearance is fine all around with room to spare.

Brangeta 02-25-2008 12:45 PM

As long as the vertical/diameter clearance is good, I think you'd be okay. What did you grind? Just the outer part where it would make contact with the spokes?

68z28 02-25-2008 01:26 PM

Looks mean! I love your car with the widened 10 spokes tho too.

GoFast908Z 02-25-2008 02:12 PM

thanks guys.

I had to grind all over. I'll post up pics soon.

There's a "how to", with photos in the "Drag Wheels" FAQ stickied at the top of the "Wheels and Tires" forum topic listing. Mine have been that way for 8 years, and there has never been a problem.

Perhaps when i post my pictures you could add it? There is no writeup for LS1 rear calipers, only LT1.
