Rims and Tires For 1990 RS V6

I looking into to getting some new rims and tires for my 1990 RS V6. The rims on it are not stock and are bent beyond repair and the tires I have on it now are 205/60 R15 and I dont like how they sit, its too low. I found a guy with some 16x8 Rims off of a Fourth Generation Z28 with 245/50/R16 tires on them and was wondering if these will fit my Third Gen Camaro? Heres a picture of the Fourth Generation Rims if needed. I'm also looking at a set 15x8 87 Iroc rims with 235/70R15 tires on them would these fit or are they too tall? Would I need spacers too run the fourth generation rims? if so what size and what company makes good ones?

4th gen rims require spacers, do a search to find the exact size, i believe its 2 inches or 1.75, iroc rims will be a direct fit. As for spacers most guys on here swear by skulte. www.skulte.com i hear the guy that runs it is very helpful and will work to get you the right spacers.

Re: Rims and Tires For 1990 RS V6

That's right, you'll need spacers for 4th gen wheels. I'd look for some 3rd gen 16x8s. IROCs were either 15x7s or 16x8s. I don't think there were any stock 15x8s. The 235/70s would most likely be too tall. They'd fit, but they'd look like crap IMO.
