15x8 rim with 3.5bs

I got a really good deal on a set of Prostar rims

15x8 with 3.5 bs(or to the best of my measuring knowledge)

Will these fit on my gta?
Or will they stick out and look funny?

Re: 15x8 rim with 3.5bs

they'll fit like a 15x10 with 5.5" backspacing. on your gta, they should look OK. try them and see is all i can think for you to do. if they don't look good, sell them and find some with 4.5" backspacing...

Re: 15x8 rim with 3.5bs

I just found out they are 15x7 rims.

I am only going to put them on the back.

I tried putting them on the back and they fit over the drums, and they dont' stick out alot either.

planning on running 8" wide slicks on there? 7" rims aren't really wide enough for a meaty tire.

Re: 15x8 rim with 3.5bs

I have a set of steel rims that I use for my drag radials. They are 15x7 and they fit a 275/50 tire(26" tall and 10" wide).
That is all I would need for now, I don't have traction problems.
