mine fit weld drag lites 15x10 7.5 back spacing and a grinder for the calipers and a BFH (BIG F-ing Hammer). I was going to fab up a little mini tub but I'm lazy and have no time. BFH works in minutes.

I think THIRD gen was 82-92, my first Camaro was an 82 and I just measured my 97 with the brake rotors on and my 96 and got 65 1/8 inches. The wheels are still on the 95 and the 2000 but I say narrowed is easier to fit because big backspace wheels are hard to find at a reasonable price. My Bogarts are 15X10 6 1/4 BS and my axle is narrowed an inch per side, 28 12.50 ET Streets or 325 50 DRs fit like a glove.

Oops I meant 82-92, I must be getting as old as Dave (ruquickr).

Agreed, but you are both younger than me. Am I just slow because I'm old?

Now getting my 15x10 Weld Pro Star XPs with 5.5 BS to fit has been a chore but its just because I refuse to use a spacer.
I got enough metal out of there and all the beating done and with a 275 60 15 its going to look like its mini tubbed.

I will be going to a 325 later on but right now I don't need them with just a bolt on LT1 under the hood.
