drag rims

[LETZRIDE]

If I went with a 15" rim on my 96 camaro, what would be the proper offest and specs that I would need to look for in a rim? is 15x8 ok or should I be looking to get a 15x10 rim?

Im looking at most likely going with a 255 wide drag radial at most.

Also, I know someone a while ago had posted some really cheap drag rims taht they found at summit racing...just wondering if anyone has that link, or another link to cheap 15" rims that would work on the camaro.

Also, I have drum brakes on the back, from what I understand, 15" should fit fine without having to grind anything off right? Only those with calipers need to grind?

Re: drag rims

If you want a 255 tire to fit all you would need is a 15x8 wheel. But if you ever want to upgrade to bigger tires I would just go head and get 15X10's.

Re: drag rims

what offset do you know? or does it matter?

Re: drag rims

shoot for 40-50 mm positive offset on the 8".

I fit 15" wheels on my back just fine, just a tad of grinding on the wheel hubs, none on the car.

this is the rim I am looking at getting....less then $50 15x10 only thing is it has a -38.00mm offset....how does that make a difference? will that fit? will spacers fix that offset?

Re: drag rims

ok, how about a 15x8 5x 4.75 with 3.5inch back spacing....will that fit, and how will that fit on the car?
