They are really really cheap...there has to be a catch, perhaps weight?

mike you have lt1 rear brakes ls1tech says 5.5 cause ls1 rear brakes have to be grinded to fit. so if 4.5 fit then guess what use 4.5 5.5 will give you extra clearence but stick out alittle.

As far as rear, True Prostars for 98-02 Fbodys go. 10 inch rim is 7.5 backspacing, thats whats on my car , with moderate grinding. And for an 8 inch rim its a 5.5 , with minimal grinding. Hope this helps
