Question Will these fit?

Need to buy new wheels found a set of 15" weld prostarts with 5.5" of backspacing. These were on a third gen Camaro. Will they work with my fourth gen TA? Also to put these on do I just have to grind down the calipers in the front and rear or just the front?

I think you will only have to grind on the front calipers for clearance. the rears should clear no problem.. How wide are your rear wheels.. I have 19 x 11s on the rear orf my trans am.... i thinks a 10 inch wide wheel with 5.5 back spacing is a common offset and should fit.. I think i would talk the guy with the wheels and see if u can test fit.. to see if they clear... usually the guys dont mind as long as your buying the wheels in the end... hope this helps

It depends on the width of the rim. You need either 15x10 with 7.5" bs or 15x8 with 5.5" bs. You will need to grind the calipers a little for clearance.

I would run a 275. The BFG drags aren't too bad but a set of Mickeys will hook better

What about 3 12" backspacing would this work?
