The rears for 4th Gen F-Bodys are 10" rim width with a 7" or 7.5" back-spacing for most slicks (28" x10.5).

The back-spacing options are limited on the 3 1/2" front rims and you may need to use a small spacer for the spokes to clear the calipers.

Double-check the clearance to make sure the wheels aren't rubbing the calipers. Also, you may need to do some minor ginding on the calipers for clearance.

5 on 4 3/4" which is standard for "most" GM cars (all F-Bodys).

it is recommended to run a 5.5" backspacing on an 8" wheel. im going 15x10 on the rears and am using a 7.5" backspacing.

Add a little more $ and get a set of Bogarts. 4" fronts and 9 3/4" rears. Less weight, no grinding, no spacers. Both front and back tuck in nicely and have a better look.

umm Bogarts are def. alot more money than the Welds.....for as much as I take the car to the track, id rather save the HUNDREDS of dollars and grind the calipers and deal with spacers. JMO

Keep a look out in the For Sale section. Some good deals pop up on ocasion, but they won't last long so you have to be ready to move.

I bought my Draglites in like new condition with lug nuts, center caps, spacers, and new MT drag radials for $700.
