Default Will 15x10 and 15x3.5 weld draglites fit my car?

Car is a 99z28, stock brake and suspension.

I found some for sale and I am not sure if they will fit. (They are the 5 lug universal) So I am worried if they will clear the brakes.....

Thanks,

Steve

You will have to run spacers on the front and grind the rear calipers. Also get longer wheel studs. Sounds like alot of work but looks good in the end! Try to make sure one of the bolt patterns is the one you need before you buy them though and check the back spacing.

are they 15x10 with 7.5 back spacing? if they are the right sizes you will need new wheels studs, spacers and you will have to grind your rear calipers down.

So the BS is 6.5 but they clear all but the little bump in the middle of the caliper, they stick out a little bit but it look like they will work fine

Also, where can I buy wheel spacers and extended studs?
