Rim sizes
I have 245/R16s on my rims...
single stripe Iroc rims... so I'm asuming they are 16x8 rims
my RPO code says I have 15x7s (or did at time of manufacture, easy to change)
however I have heard mention on this site of irocs getting like 15x8 - kinda fake 16" rims. So they might not really be 16x8s at all
but this other rim
I was wondering if anyone else had any info about this.

Just for your info: 1988/90 the stock Wheel on the IROC was a look alike 15" with the 16" wheels and tires being a extra cost option. All previous years the stock wheel size on all IROC's was 16" with 245/50/16 tires.

So it's a 16" that looks like a 15" or a 15" that looks like a 16"??
I don't think you can put 16" tires on a 15" rim so they have to be 16x8s?
