70's style wheels on 4th gen. I really need to buy a tire machine.
Id like to keep the stock wheels/tires as the 4 tires are newly mounted.
I have a set of Corvette rally's, and a set of T/ A snow flakes..both sets 15x8.
Any chance they would fit for some winter use?
Thanks.

Do you mean you're trying to fit a set of 2nd gen "snowflakes" on a 4th gen car? If so, the wheels might clear the brakes, but will stick WAY out, and might even touch the fenders. The 2nd gen 8" wheels had 4" of backspace, while the 4th gen's OE wheels had 6" of backspace.

I've been thinking of the same thing, especially with how cheap original snowflakes are. I heard backspacing was an issue though.
Someone try and put them on, tell us what you find!
