I about to order some rims for my 89 camaro. I just bought a 4th gen rear. When i order these custom rims should i tell them that i want the 4th gen specs for the rear rims? What are some of measurments i should take before i do so? thanks

 

Tell them you want Rims to fit a 2002 camaro. That should be enough.

Make sure you get 2" spacers for the front rims.

 

Tell them everything you've done and I'm sure they'll be able to help you.

 

On my 1994 Trans Am, I have Torq-Thurst II wheels. The Measurement is as follows: Size: 17x9.5
5 lug x 4.75 (same as 3rd gen) Backspacing: 7 inches
Offst: 45.72mm
If you are staying with 16 inch tires then the only thing that would change is the wheel size would be 16x8.

 

Im going with a 18x9 in the rear. I havent given the rim guy the measurments yet. remember these are going to be custom made rims for my application. i just want to get as much lip in the back. to have it look like a deep dish style.

 

The 4th gen rear, I beleive is a couple of inches wider than the 3rd gen, therefore if you want deep dish wheels, the tires are going to stick out beyond the fender lip. If you don't mind that look, you'll probably have a bottoming out issue, where the tire will hit the fender on severe bumps.

 

Yeah the 4th gen is about 1 5/8 wider and that what the guy was telling me that it will stick out more thatn the fender. I dont want that i just want it tucked in nice and neat. Im going to get about a 2" lip.. is that good enough. I just want it noticeable.

 

I went to: http://www.tirerack.com

I looked up "wheels" for my 1994 Trans Am, wheel size: 18x9
they recommend an offset of: +50mm and a tire size: 245/40-18
Of course this offset size would not gice you a deep dish look, but would keep the tire inside the fender lip.
