while i'm not new to camaros i am new to the 2nd gens. what i would like to know if i could run a 15x10 wheel on the rear without any problem and if so what backspacing an offset do i need to look for. i would like to use either cragar ss or american racing torque thrust wheels

thanks
brad

 

15 x 10 with a max tire size of 255\60 15 will tuck under 2nd gens.

 

My foot. I have seen MANY with a 295 with the fender lip rolled and a heat and beat on the seat belt hump. I think a 5.75 BS will work. Jason has some meat on his, check his out. Nasty Z28 has a great tire fitment sticky.

 

This car has 315s

 

thanks for the shout out lol yeah i have 28x12's on mine (and thinking of going bigger ) which are like 295/55's. There Cragar SS wheels with a custom backspacing of 5.25". I beat the seatbelt hump in and did roll the fenders and they clear fine.

 

I have a spare set of champ 500's with a 5' bs 28x10.5 that may be about 1/4 or so shy of the outer lip.I only put them on,I didn't drive with them. I currently run 15x10 with a 275/50/15 with out any problems,4-3/4" bs.

 

That is a nice looking car Nomad..What size rim&tire are you running on that beast?

 

thanks for the replies, what i wanted to know is what will work WITHOUT any modifications to the wheel lip or inner fender,
thanks again

 

Not my car. The white one is for sale on Nasty for 5000.

For the OP I think 5.75 bs with a 285 should fit. You can cut a peice of plywood and bolt it to the hub. Then measure the distance from it to the closest point, inside and out. That will translate into the tire size and bs.

A easy, easy way is to call Keith at www.customworksproducts.com He specializes in Camaro suspension and is a wheel dealer.

 

My 275/50/15 with the 4.75bs needed no mods.I'm goin down to the paint shop this week,so i will take some pics for you.
