Default weld prostar Q's

a couple questions i want to verify the answer to...

i have an opportunity to get a 15x4 (2nd one was wrecked) and a pair of 15x10 prostars w/drag radials already on for $100...

1.) i read that the 15x4 wheels wont fit, why?
2.) for the backspacing on the 15x10s, i read it should be 7.5. what if it isnt that deep?? just stick out the side of the car more?
3.) also will i have to grind the calipers since my car is a '96?? (v6 w/'95 z28 rearend btw)

also, just let me know anything else that i should look for or need to do to make them fit (if possible)



thanks in advance

the fronts you'll need longer studs and a little grinding ,the rear should fit with min to know grinding ...camaros require 7.5 bs T/A's can get away with 6.5's for 100 bucks try them out and see where you are ...
