Hi Gents,

Will a 15x8 inch wheel with a 4.5 inch back spacing fit without modification or spacers on a stock '69 Camaro Z28 with four wheel disc brakes? Will the same wheel fit on a stock '69 Camaro Z28 with standard rear brakes?

Thanks,
Dan

I am not sure of the back-spacing, but I put 15 X 8 minilites on my '69 JL-8 Z/28 without any clearance issues.

Great info!

Authentic MiniLites or aftermarket?
Is there any way to find out the back spacing?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, they are genuine Minilites with a 4.5" backspace; I just checked my invoice. The tires I used are BFG T/A 225/70 radials. I have since sold the car, and have no further use for the tires/wheels. They have maybe 250 miles on them. If you are interested, shoot me a PM.
