Will 16 by 8 rims with a 4.75" backspacing fit???

[Waldo617]

So i blew up my 442 but still have it.

BUT i also now have an 85 olds cutlass supreme brougham coupe. I plan on customizing it inside and out . So i am a sucker for 5 spoke wheels and found a good deal on a set to replace my steel wheels and hubcaps. They are 16 by 8 with a 4.75" backspacing. They guy says they came off of an 80s camaro. WILL THEY FIT??

So i did my research and they will not fit

Where are you thinking you will have clearance issues? I run 17x9.5 rears with 5" bs no clearance issues, but it's tight. Fronts are 17x8 with 4.5" bs and plenty of room.

They may have an IROC emblem on them, but they look like aftermarket rims.

on my 88 i used 4" backset on 16x8 bassett imca rims, and needed 1/4" spacer to get 1/2" frame clearance, and where the back of the tire was pretty close to frame, so bumped it in about 1/2".... i have big tires 295/50r15 mickey thompson street tires on the rear. there is a lot of bulge with these tires....... i ran a 3" setback on the front, that way my tires (255/60r15) didn't rub the wheel well... but when i go to the 225/50r15 in the front i might need to go to 4" setback

I have a set of S10 Blazer ZQ8 rims on my Malibu. These are basically a set of four IROC front rims. 16x8 with a 4" backspacing. No clearance issues, even with a 255-50-16 Corvette tire.
What you have, I think, are IROC rear rims. Twenty years ago, I tried one of those and ran into the frame in the rear and the fender liner in the front. You may need a 3/4" spacer (?) to use them.
