Well my stock 15"x7" ralley's don't fit the 1998 Firebird calipers is ther an off set or a different size like 8" or 10" that works?

Never seen a 15 fit on the f-body brake set-up. Not saying it's not possible though.

They look and work great when finished! Need 16" or larger rims though.;)

What's your trick for the E-brakes?

If you really wanted to run a 15" you can grind the caliper down and run a thin spacer. Its done on the 4th gen cars all the time for drag wheels. Those are 15's on the TA in my sig.
