I have a 84 camaro that has a 95 Trans am rear in it. It has air shocks as well. I want to know what rim size and backspace and bolt pattern I need to use to make a wheel fit right thanks

Bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75, The rest totally depends on what your after. I am just about to buy some wheels and have spent hours researching. Do you want 15" or 20" wheels? What is your budget? What offset? Id do some research, look at some pics and try to figure out what you want. Then figure the rest out. CTW makes a nice wheel that is ready to bolt on. But thats if your looking for 17" wheels.

Unfortunately using a 4th gen rear in a 3rd gen is going to be a major issue - you need to use different BS wheels on front and back, which can only be accomplished by spacers and 4th gen BS wheels.
