Does anyone know if I can put on 15" wheels? I went to Americas tire and they told me the would hit the brakes but I have seen them on other cars. If so what brands has anyone used?

GT's have the same brakes as V6's....and they have factory 15" wheels.

I've seen plenty of GT's with 15" drag wheels on.

You should be fine. There are plenty of people running 15's with slicks on here

I've run telstars and prostars on my cars. I prefer the centerline telstars.

Mr. Putnam has come up with a chart for us. The complete setup is on his website. Modular Revolution . com(without spaces), and look under the resources tab

just a note though, Ive run morosso studs for years, they do rust quickly but they worked fine for me. Others have had them break, and fail, and use ARP studs, but more expensive. Also remember that your stock or aftermarket wheels/or centercap may not work after you put longer studs on. I ran the split spoke 5 star stock GT(96-98) wheels and the center cap no longer would fit on the wheels on the front after longer studs were put on.

The studs can be had for a decent price and they aren't hard to install. The rims will fit aslong as you have the correct backspacing and etc.

You'll need to get some open ended lugnuts if you get the studs, as the stock lugs aren't going to be deep enough.

I ran 6 banger 'Stang wheels on the rear for my drag radials. They cleared fine, i'm sure the fronts would too as long as you are using a stock diameter braking system.

because you are the man and hooked me up

You can put the radials on the Vette because you are going to need it to have a chance after I tree you in the automatic stang
