Will these fit on my 95 Trans Am? Im not worried about grinding calipers or anything a little but is this the right size? The size most people run? Thanks. Will be for the 95 T/A in my sig for the few times I take it to the track.

You need to find out what the backspacing is.. Fronts(15x4) should be 1.75, rears(15x8) 5.5(I believe the Backspace is the same for all 4th Gens, someone correct me if wrong)..

Well he said they came off an 81 Camaro. Just talked to him. I dont think they will work then will they? He said the rears look like about 4" BS but hes going to email me with the measurements. Thanks.

you can fit the rears with 15x10, 7.5 bs / depending on the tire you may need to roll the inner lips of the fender. Is the car lowered at all? 26" tall rear will fit with no problem, just may need some slight BFH work. Stock calipers might/might not have to be beveled. Is the rear end narrowed?

Rears all stock. What would it do if you tried to put on around a 4" BS? Would the wheel stick out or something?

15x4s with 2.25 backspacing fit on the front as well, with the usual grinding
