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. Kurt

Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?
those Mickeys I have on the back of my camaro are mounted on 15X7 Cragars with I think 3-3/4" backspacing. NO problems with anything except the right side tailpipe rubs. I use the 1/2" spacers for that. I also run air shocks with low air pressure.

</div></div>So cool! Please keep them coming... How is street braking/handling with skinnies up front? I'd ditch the Nickey decal unless it was sold from there...
