Default G-Body Wheels

I bought some prostars off of a G-Body. Not sure what their offset is. But they are 15x7's and 15x8's. I grinded for about 4 hours on my calipers and still could not get them to fit. Is it because of the difference in offsets's or what?

Well, first off G-Body wheels in 15x8 use a 3.5 inch backspace, where as F-Body wheels in 15x8 use a 5.5" backspace, so they would never fit correctly. When I put Prostars on my car I had about 10 minutes grinding per side.

Well see i know that they are different and that they will stick out a little bit, but why would it make the grinding worse? And did you use a spacer?
