Greg weld wheels
15x3.5 front with 165r15 skinnies
15x8 rear with 28x12.50 et streets

These wheels will NOT fit the back without A LOT...A LOT of grinding.

More grinding than the photos shown in the FAQ "sticky" for the "regular" Welds?

Just trying to provide enough info for people who do a "search" and find your thread, since you are the only one I'm aware of who has done this.

One other guy has done this on ls1tech, he put lt1 brakes on his ls1 car.

Yes it takes more grinding than for the weld prostars, I had prostars on my car last year. We had to do more grinding to get these to fit, honestly a lot more than I wanted to do.
