2001 CAMARO Rear Wheel Size & Back Space

Larry Fulton · 10-22-2013, 02:36 PM

A friend is needing help in obtaining the correct width and back space sizes, for the Rear of his 2001 Camaro...

The car has an o.e.m. width Moser 12 bolt conversion...

And he'd like to run as wide a wheel as possible that fits within the o.e.m. wheel house and the width of the axle.

Any info is appreciated. Thank You!!

Larry on a stock width rear a 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing is very common. I had a 15x10 with 8 inch backspacing that tucked it in a tad more and looked great. In the 8 inch backspacing wheel, it would have to be a bogart or holeshot wheel to get that specific 1/2 inch increment backspacing. Where 7.5 backspace is common on any wheel

I run Billet Specialties Street Lites, 15x10 with a 7.5" backspacing.
Billet Specialties makes these specifically to fit the 4th generation F-Bodies.
This is on a stock rear end.
