Foose Nitrous wheels

I probably put this in the wrong seciton....

I was just wondering if anybody knew if they made these wheels that would fit a 92 Camaro RS? I looked on eBay and they have some 15s but the guy said I would need a 4.75 bolt pattern and all he had was 4.5. Just wondering if anybody knew anymore about them, cuz I have no clue, I'm learning. thanks for any help and sorry if it's a stupid question.

sorry those aren't going to fit. snazzy though. why 15's?

look for a set that has a 5x4.75 inch bolt pattern.

That was just one set... the 15s. I was probably going to go bigger. But I didn't know if they even made them in that bolt pattern period.

Those wheels can be bought with a 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern, just need to look a little harder. I would use at least a 16" wheel to really make that style of wheel stand out.

Good luck!

I have 18 inch foose nitrous 2 piece wheels ( the ones without the rivets )
the 2 piece are a custom wheel you can order with any backspace and they do come in the right bolt pattern

The nitrous wheel with the rivets does come in the right bolt pattern but not the right backspacing for a camaro

What backspacing would be required?

For a 8" wide wheel, use stock 4.5" backspacing; it will allow you to rotate the wheels if you want to.

or if you want to run a 10" wide rear you could go with 6" Backspacing and have the 8" wide with 4.5"bs in the front

Ok so I found some Foose nitrous with rivets 18"x 8.5 , 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern with a 4.5" back spacing. You don't think those would work?
Thanks for any help.

No, they will. However, the wheels will stick out .5" more than stock and sit flush with your fenders (you won't have a tucked-in look). An 8" wheel w/4.5" b.s. gives you 3.5" from the hub out, while 8.5" w/4.5" b.s. will give you 4" out from the hub.

Are these used wheels? If not, I would ask for 5" backspacing when ordering.

18" is much better than 15".

If I were buying aftermarket wheels for my thirdgen, I wouldn't even bother w/ anything under 17"
