I had to use a 1/8" spacer with the V6 brakes, but there's plenty of room on the studs.I imagine the same could be done with the brembos.

Looks good on the car, can't wait to get mine(car and wheels).
Should look sharp on the SIM.

I think the American Racing will be as close as we can get to the Old School Crager SS look.

Where did I hide that money tree? Anybody find it let me know would love to have the American Racing Wheels and some Nitto Invo's.

Man, I wish I could swing that on my Camaro. Just had the hood painted and ouch

Do like the look of your VR 1LS. I have the same, just the new hood. My first car was a 1968 Camaro, Matador red with black rallys and Cragars. Oh I loved that car

I am testing these today to see if they will fit. I bought 1 first. 612-884335, 18x8, 5x4.75.
I may need a spacer to clear the caliper. I will post all details once I have results.

Do you know what the weight of one of these is? I really, really, want the cragars, but also want to shed some weight from the stock steel wheels - at least for some summer tires. If these work and weigh about the same as the stock ones, I might just have to get these for my winter tires and go with a lighter wheel for the summer tires.

Stock Heritage wheels are 32lbs each. These Cragars are 24lbs each.

Sweet! Hope they fit OK.
