A simple advanced search found a post by RedRocket72 telling all about his tire and wheel combo. Check here, the 4th post down:

I think if you take the picture and tire info to your local tire store they can easily tell you what width the rims most likely are. With tires he says are 13" wide in the rear, I bet his rims are 10". If you measure from the face of your drum to the closest obstruction you can get the depth, and figure what backspacing you need. Fronts still look like 7" to me.

I've never been a fan of the really large diameter rims, but I have to admit they look really nice on that Camaro. I think if I was doing it I'd use the 17" he has and the same tire. It has a lot better stance than most the big wheeled cars I've seen.

you can put an 17x11" TT2 rim on the back w/ a 6" backspacing.
But you have to roll the fender lips.
Then you can put 315 35 17 tires/

THANKS--were are having to roll the lip,is it hitting on the sides or top?--i have air shocks and could probably raise it some if it was hitting on the top--and also are you saying 6'' for the backspacing or the offset?--and how about your fronts--what is the width and offset on those?--hate to ask so many questions,but i dont want to get stuck with the wrong rims---thanks
