Got some skinnies on the way fo da front :D

I'll be keeping my eyes out for a set of rears over the winter, and a set of 26" Hoosier QTP's.

Got em, love em. Acorn lug nuts, no longer studs, no spacers, just bolt on and fly.

Good choice. Post some pics when you get them on. I love my Telstars but I did have to run a 1/2 spacer on the front to clear the LS1 brakes on my 3rd gen. Now I need to get the 3rd gen rear end back in there so they don't stick out too much.

Yep the guy's sending spacers with them. I LOVE the look of them, I hear they're very light, and as a bonus not EVERYONE has them unlike Prostars, Draglites, and ZR1's, LOL

If you have stock LT1 brakes, you shouldn't need spacers to fit these. If you have LS1 brakes........

I had spacers and didn't even try to snug one wheel up there was so little stud poking through the wheel. Ground down my LS1 calipers, no more problems. Need to get them coated though. :D

Thanks Fastbird, I still have stock brakes so I'll try it without the spacers first. Thanks for pointing that out though, or else I might have used the spaces unnecessarily.

What Backspace did you get on the front wheels. The one for proper fitment is the 15x4 with the 1.75" backspace.

Not sure what they are, the guy I got them from had them on his LT1 car.
