Will these wheels fit??

I did a search and it seems that the search will come up with every thread that has the word wheels in it. I was told that these are american racing rims, the person on Craigslist advertises that these will fit " they fit chevy blazer buick regal oldsmobile cutlass supreme chevroloet monte carlo caprice classic impala pontiac grand prix jimmy bravada s10 basicallly they fit any chevy rear wheels drive car and light truck." he doesnt mention any firebird or camaro. They have practically new z rated tires on it and the rims look to be in good condition. Do you guys think that they are worth $300?? The guy lives 5 minutes away from me.

He's probably just saying they're 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern. So if that's the case they should fit the axles. Now if they have the proper backspacing to tuck in there and not rub against anything that's another story. And without measurements that's just a guessing game. Rims can be ordered in many different spacing (distance from inner lip to the wheel hub surface).


So, even if you found out the exact model look alike you'd probably end up with 3 or more different back spacing measurements.

If he's that close you could run over there and measure it yourself.

Summit does a fairly decent job describing bolt pattern and back spacing -> CLICK HERE.
