Unless i'm wrong you cannot get a summit star 15x10 with the right backspacing to fit under the car......I'm almost sure the 15x10 summit star comes with 5.5" backspacing and you will need 7.5" backspacing to get under your car.

Summit Stars do not come in the right backspacing for a stock length rear. I run a 15x10 with a 6.5 Backspacing and I'm about to go with a 5.5 for my 28x10.5 slicks.

Go with a 10" wheel, unless you want a 10" tire to bubble out.

Here's my old 275/60/15 Radials on a 15x10 6.5 BS which really does you no good unless your rear is 2" shorter.

So this is a 15x10 6.5bs on a stock length rearend. Is there any problems making them fit on the car, and modifications that you had to do.

I have a Moser 9" shortened 2" shorter than a stock F-Body rearend. All I had to do was remove the bumpstops and beat in a little of the inner fenderwell with a hammer.

6.5 b/s looks funny on a camaro T/A's can pull it off ....you will need a 7.5b/s on a 15x10 rim for a camaro for it to look right
