One last wheel fitment Question
Ok, I finally decided that Im going to put 255/60/15 on the rear that has a lt1 rear. I found the wheels that I want, but only have them with a 3.75 back space with a -19 offset. Will these come close to tucking them under the fender or will they stick past? Also I found a set of cragars, but they have a 4 bs with -12 offset. any opinions?

Re: One last wheel fitment Question
for that rear you will need to find 4th gen offset wheels, something with 35+ or so positive offset. both the wheel specs you posted will sit flush, or stick out with a 3rd gen width rear, with a 4th, they will ne even worse.

Re: One last wheel fitment Question
Ok, Im looking for wheels all over, but cannot or dont know what will work. I just want some steel wheels "that look like the soft eight cragars" that will fit with a 255 tire on the rear, cannot seem to find some for the life of me. I just want something different than zr1 c6 or oem 4th gen wheels.

So here some eagle alloys that have a 15x10.0 PCD 5x120.65 (5x4.75) ET -46 offset will these works since I can't find and 8 inch wheel with that offset.
