Re: quick question

They will bolt on, provided they clear the brakes, but the offset is different and they will typicaly stick out too far. I think thr 16x8 'rear' wheels are a close fit, but definatly not the 'front' wheels

Re: quick question

I had LS1 brakes with 16x8" IROC rims so they will clear the brakes not sure about the offset and backspacing though.

Re: quick question

I've currently got the stock 15x7 wheels from my 83 Z28 on my 97 Formula. They stick out a tad in both the front and back. I can probably get some pictures in the morning.
