  • help fiting 15" rim on the rear of 2000 camaro

    I have been using the pro star xp 16 x 8.5 in the rear of my car they have been working good i'v goten down to a 1.5 60" but allways looking for better. with a 15' rim it opens up so many more tire chouse. I was hopeing to use a 15 x 9.5. hopeing with outher mods over the winter and the 15' rim maybe 1.4 or even 1.39

    I have a set of 15" wheels I use exclusively for tire melting burnouts, and to bolt them up I have to use a 1/4" spacer. The problem I have is that my wheels are off an old car, and the inner pieces of the part where they weld them together just barely touch the brake caliper. 1/4" spacer, problem solved.

    I've seen lots of f-bodies on fats and skinnies with 15's, so maybe somebody has a permanent solution. Spacers are ok for burnouts, but not 1.4 60 foot times!

        This guy runs 15x9 Centerline AutoDrags on his 99 SS. As far as I know, they bolted right on, no spacers. He routinely pulls low 1.4 60-fts on what is basically a stcok bottom end, heads:

          I am just wondering how you are going to fit a 15 foot rim on an f-body. That must be one heck of a lift kit you put on there. J/K I couldn't resist. 15' = 15 foot. 15" = inches.
