Default Will these fit okay?
I'm not real sure on the fit on the front wheels. Speak up if anyone knows. They all came off a 3rd gen f-body, and they used wheel spacers on the front.

Drag Lites
15x8 and 14x5
Tires are in great shape all the way around.
Rears are 27" Tiger Paws. Not sure on fronts.

Just a guess, but I think you're probably going to have to do some major grinding on the fronts, even with the wheel spacers.

The fronts won't fit without grinding your calipers down to nothing. 15x3.5 is what you'd need.

Did you mean the fronts were 15x4 or 14x5?

14x5. I guess I'll leave them alone.

Yea, a 14" rim isn't gonna fit unless you remove the whole caliper.

he's right, just go with the back wheels, and find so e other wheels for the front or go through the hassle of grinding!!
