Hey guys, I have an 89 Formula and I want to get a set of Welds for it. I was thinking about some 15x8's in the back and some 15x7's in the front. Now I never see anyone with Draglites or Prostars with normal sizes in the front. Everyone seems to run skinnies but I don't want them on my every day driver. So what does everyone think?? Also does anyone have any pics of Formula's with 15 inch rims other then stock? Oh and one more question, What backspacing would I need in the front and the back if I did the combo above?? thanks guys

 

come on, someone has to have somthing to say???

 

I have 15x8 prostars w/ 4.5in backspacing in the rear and 15x7 w/ 4.5in backspacing in the front on my 84 Camaro. I don't think I have any pics on my website with the 15x7's on the front but I can take some pics if you want. I think all the pics on my website are with the 15x4 skinnies on the front.

 

Yea man I would love some pictures if you could. How do you like the rims? Also wut size tires are your running cause I dunno weather i wunna run a 50 sidewall or a 60. thanks man

 

my buddy has some 15X7 centerlines that are a solid drag race wheel, and he has them on all 4 corners and it looks awesome

 

I went with 16" Prostar XPs but no fronts these are just for drag radials. The tires on here are 255/50/16s I'd imagine they would look good all the way around except I'd want 17s for every day use. Don't know if it helps any but here are 2 pics of the rims on the car...

Pic 1

Pic 2

 

I'm running bf goodrich p225/60/15 in the front and p255/60/15 in the rear. I'll try to get some pics in the next few days

 

here is someone's car from the boards, i like it alot. i wish i knew whose it was though.

 

Wow! Yeah, that is a nice looking camaro!

 

Smoooooooth wonder whose that Camaro is, I like it.

 

15x8 rear, 15x6 front dont know backspacing, bought them cheap.

those of us whose cars came w/ 17" wheels.....both the front and back rims are 8" wide right? does anybody go 8" in front and back?

 

jbenge:

Your car is almost exactly how I've planned to make my car look when I get it painted. Do you have any more full-body shots? I would love to see some...

Thanks,

Matt

 

3rd gens didnt come with 17" wheels, 16"s were the biggest, but yes the width is 8"

 

yea i know, like 20 minutes after i wrote that i realized i had put 17"...but my questino is the same...anyone run 16x8 all the way around?

 

fast83camaro,
Heres a few more pics, I had to look for awhile to find them. I lost most of my pics when my computer crashed a couple of months ago.
