Post Weld Racing Magnum Drag 2.0 - 786 Series Wheel

I've heard from people that 15" rimms will not fit over the brakes of 4th gen camaro's. This true? I am thinking of getting a pair of the wheels mentioned in the subject, for drag use only. In 15 X 12.

Will these fit without banging out the wheel well?

Depends on backspacing. The only 15" wheels that I'm aware of that fit with no grinding are the Centerline Convo Pros. I have 15X8.5 w/5" BS.

Looking at jegs, http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...78&prmenbr=361

Looking at the 15x10 or 15x12. What are the RS & BC numbers?

Most of us at www.ls1tech.com run either:

Weld Draglite / Pro Star; 15x10, 7.5 backspace, with major grinding and a spacer or a wee bit more grinding and no spacer, which is what I do.

Or run:
15x8, 5.5 backspace

Centerline rims are a bit different...
