Re: what size rims

15x7 or 14x6(? not sure on the width of the 14s) like said above.

However, those are not stock Trans Am rims you have pictured. They are Camaro rims.

Re: what size rims

Re: what size rims

the pic you posted is of a camaro wheel

but that doesnt matter

factory wheels on these cars in 82-84 were 14 and 15

7" width in virtually all cases

you can put basically any wheels you want on it

you are making this way more complicated than it is

backspacing will be the biggest worry, if you were to get very tall or very wide wheels/tires

but with 14 or 15 and normal width like you are talking abotu then you dont need to worry about backspacing


are you planning on stock, or aftermarket ?


good luck
