[95_white_firebird]

Yea man those look sweet i deff think they would look good

[hockeyman]

WOW! :eek: Those are some nice rims!

[00firebird]

BALLLINNN!!

they should work because they have the (5x120.65mm) pattern which is what the firebird/corvette has. (im not sure about the camaro, in the descrip he says the camaro is not the correct offset? i thought it was also 120.65) ((most cars are 120.5 which makes our cars hard to fit))

[DarkEcho]

i think hes just stupid, he also says 98-2003 firebird so i dont thin he has any idea what hes trying to say lol

5x120.65mm is the bolt circle, not the offset.

Those are made to fit the 84-87 Corvette. They have a +38 offset.

ZR1 style wheels made to fit 88-96 Corvette and 93-02 Fbody usually have between a +54 to +56 offset.

He says they won't fit the Camaro because they won't fit under the Camaro fenders. The Pontiacs have wider flared fenders and the +38 offset will fit under without rubbing.

I also put +38 offset ZR1's on my Firebird. It puts them out almost flush with the top of the fender.

BTW - I like the black chrome, I think that would look good on a black car.

^^ His rims look good on his car too!

what if i got the 58+ offset? would it stick out more than the ones you have? by like 20 mm or what?

[DarkEcho]

oh i see, the more the positive offset, the closer to the center of the vehicle it will be, the less offset, the more it will stick out... i get it... hmmm i would like my tires to stick out more :-D

[FunkZ]

Yup, you got it, I like them to be out more also.

For a 9.5" wide rim you want somewhere around +40mm offset.

If you go with 8" rims you can fit +25mm offset. This would be the BMW 3-series offset.

^yup..i have 9.5"s all the way around and they're right at +40 ..and yeah i think those rims look SWEET! [img]smile.gif[/img]

[FunkZ]

AAArims C5 replica 18x9.5 wheels are +54mm offset. I think the only style they offer in the 84-87 Corvette offset is the ZR-1 replica.

Most aftermarket wheels though are available around +40 offset like TT2, BC Smoothie, etc.

[1DangerousV6]

^really??...i thought they were +40 like the other aftermarkets ..oh well..i've been looking into even more of an offset...id like the rears to stick out a little more

I really freakin like those rims. But thats the only auction that i've seen them in. Can somebody find a place to buy them? Ebay would be nice, the cheaper the better, but i really want those things.
