Iroc wheels?

[joesregalproject]

I found a really nice set of iroc wheels on CL for $125! No tires, but I already have a set of 15 in. tires with so-so tread on them. I'm considering buying the wheels, does anyone have pics of Regals on iroc rims?

I like the Iroc wheels but I think they look best on a Chevy since everyone knows that the originals ones were only made for the Camaro.
Also I think you need 4 fronts? to fit correctly on a gbody without spacers or adapters which I would not use. There are enough wheels out there that fit gbodies that you shouldn't have to adapt anything.

They are all 15x7s with 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern.

The backspacing is where they differ. If they are 15" are they just Camaro wheels or actual Irocs,
I thought those came in 16" only from the factory.
Do they look like these: http://pi.b5z.net/i/u/509876/i/85_87_ir ... t_of_4.jpg

Here is a picture which a lot of people call iroc wheels but are just 15" Camaro wheels:
I know the actual 16" iroc had two different backspaces for F and R specific.http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/mFjp0w3 ... WQ/140.jpg

IROC wheels were 16" with front and rear specific wheels. 4-fronts would be the ticket. The 15 x 7 wheels are Camaro RS wheels. That's what my car is sitting on now.
Actual IROC wheels wouldn't look bad on a Regal, but I would go with a set of GTA wheels or GN wheels. Just my opinion.

An '87 Regal on 15" Camaro wheels. This car (last I heard) belongs to a forum member.

Standard IROC wheel for '88, '89 and '90 was a 15" wheel.

'89 and '90 used a 15" version of the available 16" wheel. 85-87 came with 16s standard, and they were available in 88, 89, and 90, but were not standard equipment.

The base '88 IROC used the same wheel as the 82+ Z/28 alloy wheel, which was again used on later RS camaros, and 2WD Blazers as well.

So purely from a technical standpoint they are IROC wheels, but common usage would identify them as Z/28 or RS wheels, and most people think of the 16s as IROC wheels. The 15" version of the 16" wheels are extremely rare these days.

Here's the ad- I like the wheels a lot, I just want to know if they'll be direct bolt on or if I'm gonna need some adapter or something. Screw it if I'm gonna need an adapter.

Those wheels are a direct bolt on, no adapters needed. However, in some instances a thin wheel spacer might be needed up front. In my case, the insides of the rims came very close to the tie rod ends. One side, it actually knocked a weight off.
You'll also need lugnuts with the proper shoulder. Different than your common steel rim lug nuts.
