Never owned a front wheel drive converted GT SS car, but I think it's safe to say 3.5" on the wheel width. Also, there are two common backspace options.

BS varies from company to company and many are available special order to fit your needs but if I'm not mistaken most 3.5" wheels come in either 1.75" or 2.25" BS. IIRC the 1.75" BS moves the wheel out more towards the outside of the inner fender and the 2.25" will "tuck" the wheel into the inner fender further. I've been trying to find front wheels for our '72 Chevelle and this is what I'm finding. If I'm not correct hopefully someone will step in with the right information.

Thanks. I was looking at holeshot wheels. On the 15x4 they offer 7/8" thru 2 7/8" offsets. Didn't see a 15x3.5 in the style I was interested in. I wasn't sure what offset I needed and don't want to order them twice.

Give them a call and see what they day. IMHO Holeshot makes a great wheel and they have excellent customer service. I have had two sets on Holestars on two different '95 Impala SS's that I've owned. With a 4" IIRC the BS would be 1 & 7/8" but they could be able to tell you. That would put the wheel out more which is a personal thing but the look I like. If you want it centered more in the inner fender it would 2 & 7/8".

Holeshot does seem to be a good value. I'll give them a call, as they should know. thanks
