Default Can I run 15"s on the rear?

Noob question but can I clear 15" wheels on the rear of an '02 Camaro? I have a set of drag radials in a 15 and it would be nice if I could use em. Thanks.

Depends, only certain wheels will clear your brakes. Only Weld Racing RT wheels, RTS wheels, or Bogarts.

I got 2 245/75R15 Nitto Radials layin around and a couple of 15/8 steel rallys layin around... It's probly wishful thinking but it would be sweet if I didn't have to buy anything.

yeah im not sure those are going to work , like camaro396 said only certain wheels will just bolt right on, and sometimes you still have to grind a hair for them, have heard good things from the weld rts though

Those will not work, and they are probably not near the correct backspace.
