Here are the wheels that I am thinking about buying

Camaro snowflake wheels

I know they will fit, but I can't seem to find the backspacing anywhere. The only reason that I want to get rid of my 15" camaro wheels is because I want to avoid running flares. I was just wondering if these would stick out or not.

If you have 4wd,they should fit. 2wd,they will stickout a poo ton.

4x4 stock wheels have around a 6.5" offset on them. I have never been able to find a wheel that has this much offset and therefore would stick-out.

I think chris015 has it backwards; if 4wd they will stick-out, 2wd they will be fine.

waaaaaaait. you might be right. I ran some trans am wheels on my last 4wd,they were flushed perfectly. For some reason i was thinking camaro. as far as trans am wheel spacing,im not sure if they are the same as camaro.

I should say that I was never able to find a 4wd wheel with such a high offset. Trans AM or Camaro wheels are not rated as 4wd so they may have such a high offset.

So chris015 you are probably correct after all, these Camaro wheels will fit a 4wd fine, but stick-out on a 2wd.

Not a good idea to use a non 4x4 wheel on a 4wd, but then again...most 4wd vehicles never see any off-road time and these should be fine for street driving.

Those have 6.875" Back spacing, and are 8" wide. They will stick out 1/8" farther than stock 4x4 wheels.


They would not stick out on a 2wd, they would be too far in. 2wd trucks would need to run spacers on all corners to use these wheels


As far as non-4x4 wheels on a 4x4, unless you're rock bouncing with the damn things they'll hold up just fine.
