They look good. Yes they will fit, but you may need spacers.

how big of wheel spacers do you think, because on another forum they said it would hit the frame long before i would even get the bolts on..

I'm not sure what size of spacer.

Need to know the backspacing on the rim. The add says 35. What ever that is.

If the backspacing is +35mm, that equals 1-3/8" plus a hair. Take that and add to 4" (half the rim width), you should have a backspacing of about 5-3/8". For a 4th gen f-body, that's about right. For a 78-88 g-body, you will probably have clearance issues.

According to 442.com, the backspacing for a 15x7 wheel for an '87 442 is 4". I would set my goal there. In theory, a spacer between 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" should do the trick. As always, double check fitment and figures before buying.

Here's a link that explains the backspacing:

where could i double check this info at?

The link I posted shows how backspacing and offset works. Also has backspacing data from wheels that came on your cutlass. As far as checking the wheels for sale, I'd email the person and ask for a backspacing measurement.

Also, any good place near you that sell tires and wheels should help you out.
