Okay after searching the last two days. I didn't find the answers I'm looking for.
I swaped C6 corvette wheels on my iroc a while back. And then I was an idiot and sold my stock Iroc wheels.
Now money is low and I've been forced to start driving my camaro as a DD. And the 295/30/19's really suck with an open diff in the wet stuff...and even worse in the frozen stuff.
So, I've began my search for some super cheap wheels. I know any stock 15" 2 wheel drive s10, or astro van wheels should fit my car (which has the factory disc brake rear.) But what about the 14" stock wheels? I actually found 4-stock steelies with new rubber for $50.
I bought some 14" older cragar SS mags last spring and got home and the way they were cast... they wouldn't clear my front calipers. So this is why I'm not going "gun-ho" on this $50 set of rims.
I'm mainly looking for super cheap for the winter. I thought about buying some used snow tires for the 19's. But, even for the price of that... I could still buy a whole set of wheels and tires.

If you're just concerned with cheapness and not so much about how it looks, 15" base firebird wheels are cheap and plentiful in junkyards (at least in my part of the country) and should fit just fine.

I don't think the 14" wheels will clear the calipers.

any of the 82-92 F body 15" or 16" wheels
any 2wd S10 15" wheels
any 1970-81 F body 15" wheels
G body (monte carlo, regal, cutlass) 15" wheels

I should've be more definite on what fitment I was looking for. I know the lug patterns fit. But I wasn't sure of the 14's clearing my calipers.
Anyhow... the guy already sold those 14's. It was a good deal with good tires on them. I can get some s10 rims from $60 to $150 for the set without tires around southern Indiana. I'll just wait awhile something will come along on the classified on the forum or on craigslist.

Well... I won't have to try the 14" s10 wheels after all. I picked up a set of '94 aluminum s10 15" rims to trade for stock 16" iroc's.
