I think 15x4's only fit certain year F-Bodies. They won't fit 98+ for sure. I run 15x3.5 with 1.75 backspacing, a 5/16 spacer, and no brake clearancing.

why not just go with the 15x3.5? 15x4 isn't much bigger. why do you need the 15x4?

i drove with 15x3.5 in front and 15x10 with full hoosier slicks 120 miles roundtrip no problem. you will have to grind a lot and go with a big spacer to get those 15x4 to fit. they will prolly stick out a bit as well. just go with a 15x3.5.

If you run a 15" x 4" you will probably have to grind your calipers. I have a friend that went with 15" x 4" and had to grind his front calipers. I run the 15" x 3.5" with 1.75" bs & 5/16" Spacers & didn't have to grind a thing.
