Default Will these rims fit?

Will 15" rims fit over the brake calipers in the front? I know 14"s wont fit.

And, will these rims fit on a 93+ FBodys? I really don't know too much about offsets and etc.

Thanks!

It depends. Bogart's have the correct offset to fit over the calipers without grinding them and without the use of a spacer. Weld pro stars 15x3.5 will fit. Some cars will need a 5/16 spacer without grinding the calipers and some cars will need to grind them. Keep in mind if you do use spacers make sure to get longer wheel studs otherwise your car won't bee safe since the studs will be too short with the spacers.
Those rims your looking at won't fit in the front.

Sorry to bring this up again, but why would they not fit in the front? Just curious so I know what to look out for in the future.

The front rotors are bigger than the rear.
