Will these 22" rims fit on my 84 Monte?

[edb_app]

So I went to a rim shop to find out what size rims could fit on my Monte. They stated any 5 bolt 120mm would work. Found a great deal for some 22" Dcenti rims and tires on craigslist so I bought them. I took them to be put on the Monte and the front ones fit fine, the back ones not so much even with adapters. They said the offset was to high and told me I would need to find rims with off offset of 13 to -13. So currently I am trying to sell them. Today I came across someone who said they have the right kind of adapters for the rear. Is this possible, are there adapters out there that would make them fit or are they confused. I really like these rims and would hate to sell them only find out later that they could have fit. Below is the specs of the rims and tires.

here is a good thread, to began with

http://www.elcaminocentral.com/showthread.php?t=27194

if your rim/tire is hitting the frame, before the back of wheel contacts the hub, or axle flange, (too much backspacing, positive offset) in that case you may be able to get them to fit, however, you will prob need longer wheel studs, which in that case you may as well use arps, or an adapter style spacer, the one that has studs in it... you will need an adapter that will allow the wheel to clear the frame, but not push the wheel out past the wheel well for a nice tuck/proper fitment

you would need to mock up the wheel in the wheel well and take measurements to figure out how wide an adapter... your wheel with tires is prob about 9" wide

with basic math if your backspacing really is +6.25" then I would say your spacer would be around 1.5-2.25", but you need to check and measure for what you need

hope this all makes sense and is helpful cause im extremely tire right now

Lots of needed info, even though it may take awhile to fully understand everything. Thanks!

trying to explain this better...

if you can (on level ground) jack the rear up and take a tire off, place a jack stand underneath for safety, etc. make sure the car doesnt roll, etc.

make sure you can fit the rim into the wheel well and lower it just enough so that you can measure the distance, between the back of the wheel (where the studs go through) and the axles flange (the part the studs are pressed in)... to make it easy, push the wheel all the way where it is touching the frame, take the measurement (the space in between, that is not allowing you to bolt the wheel on)... write that down... lets say the gap in between is 1.75" (it may not be, but lets say it is for example)

then measure the distance between the outside of the tire, to the inside of the fender well, lets say for example its 1"

to center/ish the wheel in the wheel well, I would divide the 1" by two, giving me .5" and add that to the 1.75" for a total of a 2.25" adapter needed...

If you want me to, i can try and make a video for you to kind of explain what I am saying better... cause is harder for me to describe what I am saying than to try and show you...

before I do that, i want to make sure your problem in that you have too much backspacing?
