Default 15" wheels

i bought a 2001 Chevy s-10 4x4 it came with a set of stock wheels and centerlines. I put my stock wheels on my s10 and i was wondering if i can put my 15'' centerlines on my 95 T/A without running into a problem. The wheels are 15x7 in the front and 15x10 in the rear, i was hoping i could use these wheels for my drag slicks on the track. Any info would be a help before i send the wheels home to Connecticut (where my cars at) from here in Hawaii. Both their bolt patterns are 5x4-3/4 but will it clear my stock disk brakes??

If they are the same bolt pattern there is only one way to find out. Just try to put them on and see if they will clear.

Oh well then I understand you asking the question. I just thought you were being lazy and wanting to fine the answer with out doing any work lol. Do you know the backspacing? 10 inch wheels a 7.5 in. BS to not stick out. I cant tell you if they will clear the brakes though.

You can lay a stright edge across the back side of the rim and measure down to the mounting surface to find the backspacing. With a 31x10.5 tire tou are going to have to do some serious BFH modding to the wheel well to be able to stuff it in there.
