just jacked up the camino and put on new wheels. after they are mounted there is only about a 1/4 inch from tire to frame in the rear is this enough. if not how much should I have its an occasional driver.

all stock
air shocks

tire size is 255-60-15

I used 5/16 wheel spacers on my car problem solved

 

[mysons80elcamino]

Did you have to change your lug nuts to longer ones?

 

[pontiacgp]

It shouldn't rub. take it for a test ride and see what happens

 

[mysons80elcamino]

so the back are ok now, but the front are rubbing on the tie rod, not the wheel but the wheel balancing weight.. I think im just going to get a stick on weight for inside the wheel


ALSO HOW MUCH LUG BOLT SHOULD I HAVE OUT PAST THE LUG NUT, RIGHT NOW IT IS EVEN, TOP OF LUG BOLT IS SMOOTH WITH TOP OF LUG NUT.. IS THIS OK OR SHOULD I HAVE MORE....

 

[Longroof79]

Some thin spacers should rectify that. That's what I ended up doing with mine...or like you said, stick on weights on the inside of the rims.

So how does this look, im not to fond of the iroc's but my kid likes them

the tires still need shined up but do these wheels look ok to everyone.

i have the same wheels on my el camino, you have to run the rears on the front and the front on the rear. the back spacing is backwards..

JOSH Im not an expert, but I think the 4 I got were all the same I didn't notice any difference between the 4 at all.

Josh,
Your wheels are the actual 16" IROCS, those are Camaro RS or Z28 wheels. I have the same 15" Camaro wheels on my wagon currently. They aren't front and rear specific like the 16" wheels.
