ok...no pics, but i did test fit the wheels. the rears for sure need NO spacer. the fronts i was able to make work with a 1/4" spacer. i did not need a 3/8". so it saved some of the threads on lugs.

Did you drive around? What tires?

With 27x10.5x15 ET Streets... the little movement in the axels made me uneasy, and I just ordered the 1/4 spacers just to be sure...100$ for piece of mind, over a new rear end, downtime, etc... I drove around on mine and 'scuffed' them... No problems ZERO!

Stock studs are 3" long.

Just swapped out the front wheel studs. The stock ones are actually 2.25" vs 3.315" for the new ones. I'm not sure the lug nuts I ordered are gonna be long enough for my street wheels. And I probably won't get to try them out tomorrow. I'll be in Pomona all day at the swapmeet.

from the research i did prior to buying the wheels....i found that the jegs wheels and summits were both basically knock offs of the old weld pro star xp line of wheels....so i can not confirm they are the same but i would guess they are....i just prefer buying from jegs is why i purchased them.

Duh... what was I thinking? My new Moroso studs were 3" long, not the sotckers. My bad.

So you got Moroso studs with the .549 knurl size? Cuz I'd switch mine out if I could find some 3" long instead of 3.315".

2 questions.
will the 15x8 with 4.5" bs fit on the front? Id like to use these on the street.
Also, jegs makes a 15x10 with 6.5bs. The outside lip should not stick out cuz its the same as a 15x8 with 4.5bs. The extra 2 inches in on the inside edge. I gather that you guys say the 10 inch rim wont fit. Why?
