After having the parts 4 or 5 years im finally gonna get around to doing the rear disc swap. My question is can i use a 15 inch wheel with ls1 disc swap?

I'm not aware of any that will fit... I think the F body guys run 15's, but they use a 10" wheel with about 7" offset, so they can get away with it.

Thats kinda what i figured. The brakes are still on the old rearend so i'll do some test fitting. I was told once that you can grind the calipers to make them fit but i dont really care for that idea...

yeah you can grind the calipers down or there is one of the drag wheel companies that make a 15" that will fit....bogarts maybe? it's what the F-body guys use for drag slicks...they are not DOT legal though

I run the LS1 rears on my 84 MonteSS. The stock 84 steel rally wheels didnt clear the rear brakes so I sold them. The 85+ MonteSS Alum Rally wheels clear the brakes and thats what I run now. The 15" alum wheels from the GN's clear as well ( good freind runs the LS1 rear brakes on his GN )
