15 inch Torque Thurst 2's from a A-Body fit on a 91?

Just bought a 91 Camaro and while I am saving up for the body work, I do have some Torque Thurst 2 rims I had on my 72 GTO. Going back to the stock Rally wheels on the GTO. The rims are 15x8s and are whatever the stock backspacing was on those cars. I also picked up a set of 245/60R15 tires that are basically brand new. Are these too tall to run all the way around. Dont want a 4wd look to the car.

The 91 currently has 225/60R15s up from and 275/60R15s in the back on the factory wheels.

Would this setup look good on the car? I plan on painting the car white with hugger orange stripes this winter/spring.

Also anyone have pics of thirdgen Camaros with 15 inch torque thrust 2s?

Re: 15 inch Torque Thurst 2's from a A-Body fit on a 91?

That's what I had on mine before I swapped to 18" ers. They were Eagle Alloy 211 Torq Thrusts, 15x8" with a 3.75" BS. They stuck out right to the edge of the fender arches, and rubbed a little on the front past about 3/4 of lock, but they looked and drove pretty good. I had 235/60/15 tires on it.

Pros:
-Sick Looks

Cons:
-Kind of heavy, roughened up the ride a bit
-Suspension geometry a little off, they sit too far out
-rubbing

Honestly, they'll make a great wheel for the time being until you get something else, that's how I ran them for about a year. After a while, you're going to get tired of the rubbing, so either plan on massaging the plastic inner fender with a heat gun, or getting different wheels at some point. You'll get a lot of compliments, that I can assure you of.

Ah, just dug up the thread from when I put them on. Enjoy.
