i have an 87 Camaro RS. They came with 15 inch wheels correct?? now my question is can i put 14inch wheels on it if i change the hubs?? And will it be a problem with the speedo maybe being off a few miles cuz of the change to 14s??

rim size does not effect the spedo, but why would you put 14" rims on? thats even smaller than the 15" rims already on there??????????

The problem you will probably run into is the brakes. The stock rims are usually the smallest rims to fit over the brakes.

As far as speedo problems, it not the rims size, but the tire size, height, either way tallers or shorter, there will be a difference.

well due to my finances the tires that were on the RS are shot and i have an 86 thats headed to the scrap yard that has good tread but 14inch rims. So thats where im at, thanks for the help

if the rims fir the 86, they will fit the rs. The only thing that would make the speedo change is if the tire height is different
