fitment is very good...the pro fits perfect with the rts and the stock quaters....
Once i can drive it im sure it will settle down more...def want to get the *** down
now i need some help with the fronts...
My options are
18s with a 26" tall M/t s/r radial skinny
17s with the new 28" skinny s/r radial..hmm

Burning Brakes
Spindles
I installed my spindles about a month ago. I'm running MT 275-60-15 radial (Pro style almost slick) on rear with Welds. Only thing I had to touch was rear brake calipers a little...otherwise it all worked fine.... 1999 C5.
Front I went with M & H skinny radial, Welds, and used 3/8 spacer to clear brakes. I also added longer front studs to maker sure I had nuts secure enough.

Awesome! I can't afford the LG spindles otherwise I'd be all about the 15" rims . I run the 16" CCW classics and the best tire I can run is the 26"x11.5" MT ET streets. Would love to run a full drag tire in 15" rim size!
Amazing how tight the fit is even with 16"! I had to shave on the upper part of the spindles and underside of the lower control arms to stop them from rubbing!
