SK...Thanks.Great info. I may have found a complete set of 4, 15x8, that were installed on a 66 vette in 69. All 4 wheels for 400. Sound reasonable? Do you know if they will clear the early Z28 4 piston calipers?

If all 4 wheels are in restorable condition I'd say that's a giveaway. As far as fitment issues are concerned, it seems in my experiences that you simply just have to try them first. It seems every car needs a different offset to fit properly, and even from car to car they're not always the same, i.e. a Z/28 will have less wheel weel clearance than an SS396 if they're sitting on their springs properly. 14"s sometimes rub on caliper brackets, but 15"s would definitely clear regular calipers, can't say on the 4 piston type. An 8" wheel is too wide for a Camaro IMO, even in 15". The extra wide lip on the front only further accentuates this. A first gen Camaro simply can't swallow as much wheel as the swoopy fenders of an eary 'Vette. What is the offset on these 15x8"s? How much wheel is on the front, i.e. outward of the mounting flange, or what's gonna stick past your rotors? I'm thinking a 15x8" will definitely rub in front on a Camaro, even with an E70 tire. Yenko used a 15x6" on an E-70 Wide Tread on his 69 Camaros and they look just right to me. I'd still probably grab em for that price though, never know when you might buy that Vette to put em on.

SK...I am waiting for more info from him. The questions you asked are basiclly the ones I am awaiting answers to from him. He is supposed to send me pictures. Thanks. You are a wealth of information and an asset to the Hobby. I appreciate it.

Hey SK.. Got any Cragar S/X's laying around? They're also a Torque Thrust look alike.. 1 piece alum. wheels. Let me know

SK..I have the pictures of the wheels. They are 15x7, with 4'' of backspace. I told him I will take them, but I am third in line. Will let you know if I get them.
Paceme...Does it look like a 7'' would clear on your 69?

Thanks...

I believe they would work just fine.

I found 15x6 dragmasters for my 69 Yenko and they fit great and clear the single piston calipers.
