Would these wheels fit on an 86 iroc

Im thinking of getting wheels I want the widest tires in the rear that will fit without modifications. Will these wheels fit Weld pro star wheel 15 by 8in wide with a 4 inch backspace for the front and for the rear Weld pro star wheel 15 by 10in wide with a 4 3/4 in back space. Also i was thinking of getting brgoodrich g force drag radials p325/50R15 for the rear and p275/50r15 for the fronts. Pls tell me if they will work and if this is a good combo. Ur advice is really apreciated.

I wouldn't know about the rims, but I will comment on tire size.

I'm assuming you're going for a drag application, hence running slicks? If so, 275 is a really wide front tire. Even more so when you're talking about 10.8" of rubber for a 8" wide rim. If you're going for improved cornering by running a wider tire, might I also suggest a wider rim? At that point you're going to have a pretty bulging sidewall, which is never good for cornering (ask me how I know )

The rear tire depends on your application. If you're going to be running around on the street and want an accurate speedo, you're better off going with a 325/40r15 if you want a 325mm wide tire. If you're going to be using this as a track car, you should consider a gear swap to compensate for the taller tire because you will feel the impact (the diameter jumps a little over 2").
