looks like backspace is 3.75"; but can't tell if the board is on the rim or the tire.

For giggles, measure the front offset. I'm betting the wheel is a 7", not 8. The wheel width is measured where the bead seats on the inside of the lip.

That just doesn't seem right.... are there any stampings near the valve stem to indicate it's an original GM wheel or is it an aftermarket ? I would have to test fit one on the Camaro to see if it will clear.

I'll be down that way next Saturday with the Camaro. Will you be around to try one on the car ?
