16X6.5 steelies fit the SS (no brembos)

I bought 2 firestone winterforce tires (205/60R/16) and had tire rack put them on 2 16X6.5 black steelies. They just clear the non brembo brakes on the SS for those who want to know...also they were almost exactly the same height(might have been identical if I had full tread on my 18"s)


Also this combo was $329 shipped, to my front door. Included mounting, balancing, and filling...I felt that it was a pretty good deal, now I just need some snow to try them in

I just confirmed this today one mine, and the Wheel Vintiques fit also, I was surprised the SS caliper has a 2 inch piston and half the pad friction surface, my LS/LT calipers have 2.125 inch piston and a much larger pad friction surface, I think I'll use the larger pads for my 11.65 SS rotor conversion
