Corvette Rally Wheel question


Thanks in advance for any replies to my question. I am always thinking of trying to come up with something new to try and I came across four 15 inch Corvette rally wheels and was wondering if anyone has tried them on their third gen Camaro's? The tire size is 295/50/15 on a 15 x 8 in the rear and a 235/60/15 on a 15 x 7 on the front. Honestly, I don't know the back spacing of the wheels. The 295 seems like a lot of tire on the rear and the best I can tell both front and rear tires are 26 inches in diameter. This should fill the wheel well pretty good.
Just looking for some input from anyone that have tried these rally wheels and if they will fit the rear of the car.
Thanks. Mike

Update: the front wheels have a 4 inch back space and the rear wheels have a 3 3/4 inch back space. The wheels came off a S10 Blazer. Thanks.

They should fit fine. The rears will have some stickout compared to stock, but the 295/50 was common back in the day.

Re: Corvette Rally Wheel question

I have seen corvette rally wheels on third gens since back in the 80's. I consider them more for a old school look plus limits upgrading disk brake size.

On the other hand, US Mag has a rally wheel option with 17's thru 26's available.

Just a few more options and a somewhat modern look.
