Will they fit with no modifications or rubbing issues? also what is the stock tire size for the SS wheels where it wont throw off my speedo? , my Camaro came with 245-50-16's, Thanks.

The SS wheels will fit without rubbing. A 275/40-17 tire has the same outside diameter as a 245/50-16 tire, and will not affect the speedo. That's why GM picked that tire size, I suspect.

One caution. Up until 1996, the rear axle hubs are slightly larger than the front hubs. As a result, GM made the hub holes in the wheels for the 93-96 cars large enough to fit over either the smaller front hubs or the larger rear hubs. In 1997, they made the rear hubs smaller, to match the front hubs, and made the hub holes in the wheels smaller. As a result, to put 1997 SS wheels on your 95, you will probably have to lightly sand or grind the inside diameter of the hub holes in the rear wheels. No big deal... its a tiny difference. But if you fail to do it, the wheels will not fit over the rear axle hubs, and if you pull them down with the studs, they wheels will get stuck and you run the risk of cracking the wheels at the hub holes.

ok i tried them on today, no tires yet and they seem to fit no problem, i even screwed on the bolts ( if the bolts got screwed on does it mean they fit ?) and can i use the same bolts as my salad shooter wheels ?

The wheels have to fit flush up against the flanges on the axles. Its possible to screw on the lug nuts without that being the case.

Are they original equipment/factory SS wheels, or reproductions?

I think they are originals, im not sure...how can you tell ? also i thought they either fit or don't fit, when i tried them on they fit nicely and i can even screw on the bolts !!! Thanks for your help...any info is greatly appreciated.
