Will these rims work on my car??

Concept Neeper "Shadow" ---18"

I have a 1998 firebird v-6. I am not exactly sure of the bolt batter, but i know they are 5 lug. I saw these rims in my local paper and was interested. The guy said that these rims have Kumho 235-40ZR-18 tires on them. Less then 3000 miles on them, and he wants 1700$ OBO. Let me know if these rims could work. I will be trying to contact him to find out the exact pattern.

As far as it not rubbing? It'll work. The bolt pattern? don't know. Call em and make sure if the bolt pattern fits for our cars.

yes, these will fit your car as long as the bolt patterns match up. it is only a little taller than the 235-55-16's, like .2 in.

Just an opinion here, but they're butt-ugly and too heavy. You're going to slow your takeoff speed and wear out your brakes trying to push around all that chrome. They will fit though.

You dont like the way they look? What kind of rims do you like shadly?

[pgriffith]

I dont think the bolt pattern will fit. I was looking at the bolt pattern available and they didnt list ours. Call them and ask.

If you're going with 18s, you're going to have a REALLY low profile tire to fit under your fender. That much metal is going to overwhelm the look of the car. I used to sell wheels. Neeper is a good brand, but I'd stick with factory styling. I didn't realize you were buying used. Unless they came off another 5-lug GM, they're not going to fit. Also, $1700 is too much money for anything used. A lot of guys with f-bodies are going for Eagle 077s. I like my '01 z28 chrome wheels just fine. :D

Personally im going to put 4 17in chrome ZO6 rims on my 95 pro am 3...

[zlightning]

you might look for a wider tire. that is smaller then stock. I believe.

You might have trouble with the backspacing as well.

I think i am going to just stick with my cragar SS 980's. They are probably one of the rarest rims for f-bodies, and look very sweet on my car. Thanks for all the help.
