I have a set on the front 135401547 4X15. I had to remove the disk brake pad retaining clip. I just snaped it off. No big deal. I am using the cheapest pep boys brake pads so other's may fit as is.
These wheels just fit. No spacers or grinding required.

I just ordered 8X15's 135806547 and Et Street 26x10.5-15 for the rear. These are the same wheels and tires that gm high tech used for their camaro. I think they will just fit too.

What's holding your brake pad in place now?

The calibler. The clip really doesn't do much. I think it just holds the pad in place as you put calibler over the rotor. The clip is on the outside pad only.

need to take new pics as the rear was sitting high in those, I was tring out the V6 springs in hopes of better 60ft times to no avail.

I want to say that they are 275/50?/15. I'll double check when I get home. I have found that with standard z28 rear coil springs they will hit the lip of the fender a little. Easily solved by throwing in the V6 springs which give me a better launch anyway.


Check this link for a few pics of them on with the V6 springs.
