That looks stout!! Looks to be setup very well, now just some valuable seat time and you will definately hit your target.

Are you going to get matching 17" fronts, or will thos not clear the brakes? I love the RT-S wheels, was going to put them on my 90 coupe but its gone now.

I might jut get a set for my Boss though now.

I was about to order the MT ET 275-50/15 but Jegs said they might not fit on a 2013 GT CS without altering the brakes. I think a 15x8 will fit without issues, but I want to make sure and I'm getting different feedback from vendors. Can anyone let me know if this is correct?

Thanks!

The Jegs rep said he didn't think a 15"x8" wheel would fit because of an issue with the brake caliper size. I know a 15"x10" needs the sway bar relocation kit, I was wondering if you had any issues with the calipers too.

Thanks!

I ended up purchasing Steeda's 1-1/4" tubular adjustable bar, which fit perfectly.

I didn't think there was an issue, thank you for the feedback.

I just ordered the MT ET 275/50-15 & 15x8 Race Star Drag Wheels from AmericanMuscle.

Your car looks amazing. Best of luck, I'll follow this thread to see how your 1/4s go.
