Default Willwood Brake Wheel combo HELP???

I need to find a wheel to roll car around before I purchase my real setup but I'm unsure what later model Corvette or Camaro factory wheels will fit over the Willwood setup. I'm basically looking rollers not drivers to work on car with brakes on.

The C4 and Camaro Wheels have a much diffrent offset so You will need Wheel Spacers from VB&p or others to fit. Sounds like a lot of trouble for a Roller.

Yes I know the stock 15" will not clear the brakes so I can't install brakes yet. I'm not ready to spend $4000 on wheels. So I was hoping to find something to install for rolling on the cheap.

You're not giving us much info to work with. What Wilwood setup are you planning?
