Need Wheel Help

Over the weekend I swapped a 97 WS6 rear in to my 84. I used pbr brakes from a 95 Z28 on it. Now to my question what should I do now for rims. My car has 15x7 torq thrust on the back but they stick out in away I don't think looks good now plus I clearancened one of the tires already pulling in to my driveway. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Re: Need Wheel Help

If they make the wheel you are using in the 4th gen offset you could buy a pair for the rear but of course you won't be able to rotate.

Another option is to buy a set of wheels that fit the 4th gen and just run wheel adapters in the front. At least you can rotate your tires with this method if you choose a square tire setup.

Re: Need Wheel Help

I have read that on here about 4th gen wheels. Do I need a 2 inch spacer to run 16x8 4th gen wheels on the front? Then what tires could I get away with running?
