So they added some small amount of weight to the pads.
Aftermarket pads like Hawks and such do not have these weights.
My concern with these originally was that I am going to try these under a 17" wheel so space is of a concern. The OP is running 18" wheels and space is less of a concern.

Sorry I have neglected the thread for a bit. That is correct, those are these odd wheel weights GM put on camaro SS pads. I happened to have the camaro SS pads so I am using them until my track pads come in.
Don't worry about them the stock ATS pads don't have them and none of the aftermarket ones will.
I haven't had the stock wheels in years unfortunately so I can't test fit. I will try to measure from the center point to the edge of the caliper though next time I have the wheels off (should be next week to put new pads on).
