I think Fred might have a picture, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to do a little grinding on the rear brake calipers to get a 15" rim on it.Tracy

I put centerline telstars on mine. They fit pretty good with a 5.5 backspace. Another half inch would be better, but theyre not bad for the price.
No grinding required.

this is little easier to see the backspacing....Attached Files96 WS6 Formula: Ram Air, 383 Stroker, Ported LT4 Heads and Manifold, 1.6 Crane Rollers, 58MM T.B., AS&M Headers, Borla Exhaust, Meziere Elec.

The 15" Telstars are described above... that is the entry level wheel, and does not appear to take any spacer in the front or grinding the calipers in the rear. I think the 15x8 Telstar has a 5" backspace, and that is what moves the tires slightly out from under the fenders. I believe they use stock studs.
Next step up is the Weld Draglite or Pro-Star. Front 15x3.5" 1.75" backspace, requires a 5/16" spacer, and longer wheel studs. ARP, GMPP and LPE sell longer studs in the correct knurl. I have the Pro-Stars, and to me they sit just a little too far out with the spacers.
Draglite or Pro-Star in the back is either a 15x8" 5.5" backspace or a 15x10" 7.5" backspace. The outside edge of the tire/wheel will be exactly where mine is, in either width/backspace combo. Again, longer studs in the rear, and the edges of the caliper fins need to be ground down.
The longer studs make putting "street" wheels on a real PITA.
Top of the line is the Bogart P1 Billet.... no spacers or grinding if you buy the wheels SPECIFICALLY made for the 4th Gen. Rear is 15x9.75". Front is a 15x3.5". In effect the spacers are already welded to the wheels, which is MUCH safer than having a "loose" spacer. Bogarts will run you about $1,200-1,300 a set.
Grinding the calipers:

Now why you gotta go callin me entry level

Yea, their not the big time or anything and YES, it is a 5 inch backspace and YES you do use stock studs and stock style lugs (no drop ins).96 WS6 Formula: Ram Air, 383 Stroker, Ported LT4 Heads and Manifold, 1.6 Crane Rollers, 58MM T.B., AS&M Headers, Borla Exhaust, Meziere Elec.
