I was just hoping someone could tell me real quick cause im kinda in a hurry and dident wanna read alot sorry :/

 

Delete/edit = I was going to mention something about the difference between a wheel and a rim but seems there are some on this site using the terms interchangeably.

 

In a hurry? You can't buy rims in a hurry. What, was an e-bay auction about to end?
It's not just width, it's also the backspacing or offset, and the bolt pattern.
You need to know what fits BEFORE looking at e-bay or Craig's list, or any other source of wheels.
Also, what do you mean by no mods? No hammering? Or just no having to buy expensive parts? Or just no mini-tubs?
And why did you only mention the rear? Going to mix wide rear wheels with stock front wheels?

 

by no mods i meant just throw on and drive moneys tight...its an 87 trans am with the stock 10 bolt...i found a set of 15x10's with 4.5 backspacing from a guy in my town just wondering if they would work or if ill have to just go with 15x8's

 

do you have any wheels now? best way to tell whats going on as far as fitment is concerned is to measure the BS of what you have and go from there.

15x10 with 4.5 will bolt on rear, but will stick out of the fenderswells big time, no pass on those. 15x8 with 4.5" of BS will work fine though. be sure to get the right bolt pattern though.

and DO NOT RUSH to buy wheels just because something it available. take your time, find something you really like, not just whats cheap, and make sure everything is right before you buy. Its a lot more expensive to buy wheels twice if you miss a detail and buyt something that wont fit.

If you used the search feature, you could have found all this info already posted a billion times a year in various places. especially in the 15" size.

FWIW, if you at least looked at the sticky what was linked to you in the first post, you would see what would fit before you get half way down the page.

 

For zero mods period, probably a 17x9" with zero offset. At all 4 corners. The cheapest ones are steel Cragars, at $76 each, new.
I say probably, because maybe would be a 17x9.5", if the '92 Firehawks didn't have some clearancing. IDK. Those had a +10mm offset.

 

ok thanks for the info guys and sorry for being a pain in the *** lol and is it safe to run a 275 M/T on a 15x8 rim?

 

If you get the backspacing just right, then no problem at all.

 

Ok iv decided to get the jegs II rims 15x8 with 4.5BS and on the m/T ET radials should I get 26" or 28" tall tire?
