    I thought about going with a 15x8 steel wheel on the back of the 05 silvy just for track purposes. I know you can't put 15inch wheels on the front because of the disc brakes. But the back have drum brakes so would here be a problem putting the wheels on there? Has anybody done it before?-Bryan

    I thought I heard something about grinding the calipers, even in the rear to make 15's fit . An 05 has disc brakes in the rear doesnt it
