Default Vector Wheels

I've been looking at wheels for my 82, and really like the vector wheels. But they're 15x8.5" instead of the stock 15x8". If anyone's running these wheels, could you please post a picture of them and tell what tire size you're running. Thanks in advance!

when i purchased my vette it had vectors on them, the 15X8.5's, they fit without rubbing the body, they had 245 65 15's, one issue was the back ones needed a spacer on them, the fins were tapping the caliper, besides they were fine.

can you specify a 4 inch backspacing? Then yo may not need a spacer.
