Wheels

Go to "Wheels and Tires" section. There is a FAQ section that is very helpful.
Anyway, I have Weld Draglites 15X3.5 wheels with 165R15 radials, 5/16 inch spacers and 2.67 inch studs, on my 95 Z.

Please follow the posting guidelines. There are several of us who will respond within a few hours on the "Wheels and Tires" forum.... you obvioulsy haven't taken the time to try, or even to look at the FAQ.

Moving to "Wheels and Tires"........

You might want to add whether you are asking about a "track only" application or street driven, since the answer is obviously different in each case.

But last time I checked, they don't make the Convo-Pros in the correct backspace for the rear of the 4th Gens. Have they made them available in the right sizes? I would have loved a set of the Convo's, but they refused tom make them 15x10 in a 7.5" BS.

Re: what size skinnys

I think the Convos are still only available in the 5" backspace which looks very bad imho...The fronts can be ordered in the 2 5/16" backspace and they look fantastic because they tuck inside the front fenders nicely, no grinding, spacers, etc, but the rears are a problem...

Re: what size skinnys

ya my telstars are the same way you can only get the right spacing on the 15x8, I narrowed my rear 2 inches a side so I have more options when it came to wheels on the rear of mine, I have 15x10s with 5 inch backspacing on there now.

Re: what size skinnys

a 3rd gen should fit right in a 4th gen, and it is 2" shorter on each side

Yeah, but it wouldn't be any stronger though. Most guys running slicks and skinnies would break the stock 3rd/4th gen F-body 10-bolt rear on the first pass.
