Rim size ? for 87 Camaro!

Hello,
I have a few Questions about rims for a 87 2.8 Sport Coupe. I have the stock rim with the trim ring.I want to get other rims and if I order through a catalog they ask things I dont know.Can you please help!

1.What is the stock size 15X7 or 15X8?
2.What is the BOLT PATTERN 5X 4.5" or 4.75"?
3.What is the rear spacing?

If anyone has good links for rims besides JEG's & SUMMIT let me know!

THANKS

the stock size is 15 by 7
are you getting new tires to?
if you have 70 series tires get a regular 15 by 7 but if you have a 65,60,or 50 series tires you should get a 15 by 8 through 15 by 10 rim. If the rims are slotted it doesnt matter.

Thanks for the info If I get 15X8 will I tear up my fenders when I turn? DO you know the rear spacing.

the rear spacing depends on which rim you get.

i can't give much information about tire size and rim size, but if you're looking for some nice (yet expensive) aftermarket rims, try www.americanracing.com that's where i plan to get my rims once i save up the cash.
