Thx. Looks like $815 seems to be the going price. Summit Racing has free shipping. Have not checked our supporting vendors thoroughly.

Have you upgraded your front brakes?
If you haven't I would do them first About 70% of your braking comes from them

Fronts were done last season. Did you have any big issues doing the back conversion with the Right Stuff Kit? I don't want to change the 15" wheels. I currently have the 87 Buick Grand National Aluminum Restoration Wheel 15 X 7

I have not tried my 15" wheels with the conversion, I'm running 17" wheels.
They list this conversion compatible with 15" wheels but I have heard that .
some rims with poor welds did rub. (Steel Wheel)
Maybe others will chime it.

The steel GN wheels are reverse mount wheels and have a smaller diameter ring/ ridge on the backside of the wheels to mount the tires, from the backside.
Most wheels have the smaller diameter ring/ridge on the frontside and the tires are mounted from the front.
I have no idea if the aluminum GN wheels are front mount or not.
If they’re front mount, that would allow more room for the calipers.
