I can relate what fits on 4th gens if that helps.
rear LT1 15x10 w/ 7.5" BS. Weld prostars & draglites fit with minor grinding of the caliper fins. Bogarts fit without grinding, but plan on $450/wheel.
front LS1, same brands as above, 15 x 3.5" w/ 1.75" BS. Using a 5/16" spacer with the Weld wheels to clear caliper.
Hope this helps.

The 15 x 3-1/2" rim won't fit over the LS1 caliper even with a spacer. You're going to need a 16" front rim to clear the caliper.

You better check your info......
They do fit. ProStars are on the front of my car with LS1 brakes.
If you do not believe me, do a search on LS1 tech. You will find a few hundred posts confirming this.
