Default Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?

Over at the Team Chevelle site they have a section for wheel sizes. The way it was explained to me is divide the width of the wheel in half then add a 1/2". An 8" wide wheel divided in half is 4" then add a half inch. 15X8 wheels with 4-1/2" back spacing work great.

Corvette rally wheels have a 4-1/4" back space. IIRC That's why they work pretty good on Chevelles.
