Rims and Tires For 1990 RS V6
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.

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.
