The two most common 15" wheel sizes for your Trans-Am are 15x8's with 5.5" of backspacing and 15x10's with 7.5" of backspacing. Keep in mind the width of your slick may play a roll in the width of the wheel you want. If it's too wide, you may not want to run it on the 8" width. Too narrow and it won't fit on the 10" width. Hopefully this information helps.

They are just a set i have.. if these will fit on a 10 wide rim then id rather to that because i will get a taller and wider tire eventually
