Im wonderin if anyone here has succesfully installed a 15inch steel wheel on the back if an fbody and if so where did you buy them and how much?

I have a good set of hoosier 26X11.5 dot's id like to use, I can mount them on an 8-10 inch wheel.

My car is pretty ugly, im not planning on changing that either!

Get a pair of Summit Star's, either 8" or 10" wide, cheap and they get the job done.

For 15x8" you need a 5.5" backspace
For 15x10" you need a 7.5" backspace

x2 on the Summit Stars.

I doubt you will find a 15x8 steel wheel that will work. In order to have it tuck properly it will need 5.5 inches of backspacing. S-10 wheels have the correct f-body backspacing but i'm not sure if their 15" wheels are 8 inches wide. I doubt that they are. I can honestly say that I don't think i've ever seen a 4th gen with a steel wheel on it. Probably due to the backspacing we need to get them to fit.
