thinking about getting a 15x10 rims for the rear question is what b/s -offset should i get to avoid modding the rear well. i dont mind if it sticks out the well
by 1inch, with the tires should be 2 inches stickin out , thats all i can handle.

 

If you wanna look like a hillbilly 5.5 backspacing would be the ticket.

 

uhh no.

something like this..

if thats hillbilly so be it but that guys setup been growing on me

 

Yes thats hillbilly. Get 6.5 back spacing and put them in the wheel well so you dont look like a retard.

15x10 6.5 backspacing and a 275/60/15 tire

 

how ironic because that bra looks retarded... but 6.5 would require modding the rear well which i dont want to go through the hassle. 1 to 2 inches max i can deal with, kinda like that big rear wheel look, anything past is too much.

btw love the hood

 

The bra can come off and is $20. Wheels and tires are alot more $$ and the car cant drive with out them.

 

fine. u like $20 ghey bras and i like hillbilly wheels.

all jokes aside, ur car does look mean, minus bra.
u have a rear shot?

 

The bra is cause the car was hit 13 years ago when I first bought it. The front clip is scratched up a little and I cant stand it so I got the bra to cover it up. New front bumper and 4 in steel cowl hood next year. The only pic I have is from before I lowered it. The car now sits 2 inches lower then in the pic below.

 

those are the 15x10's? if so i'd prefered them out just a bit more. wish i could lower mine 2 inches but dem long tubes i have sit too low as it is...

 

Yes, 15x10 and 6.5 backspacing. I also have hedman long tubes and true dual exhaust. Its not theat bad for clearence.

 

I know this is a somewhat old thread but figured I'd put in my 2 cents. I have a 86 Camaro and I'm running stock 14's on the front and decided to put some old Crager 15" rims on the rear to see how it looked. I then wrapped the rims with some 30 year old Drag-Rite sixty's (L60-15 10" wide) and personally I love how it looks. Only problem that I have is that if I hit a hard bump the tires will rub the fender walls a bit. I plan to buy similar rims and tires in the very near future and keep the stance/look. Only thing I'll change is the new rims will be offset instead of center to avoid rubbing. I dont care how "hillbilly" it looks, I like it and so does my wife, lol. I'll post pictures in a few hours, once my wife gets home with the car.

 

84Z28, Did you have to modify your rear at all to accept the tire size? I'm somewhat new to upgrading wheel sizes and have an 86 Sport with drums in the rear, just wondering if I can slap em on as they say

 

You have to cut and modify the wheel wells to make the rim and tire fit. If you do a search I have a write up of what it entails with pictures.

 

i too have 15x10's with 6.5" BS:

 

mw66nova, What tire are you running ? Thats got to be a 295 or bigger.

 

275/60/15 MT et street radial. my car looks to be about an inch lower than yours though, so that might be making them look bigger.
