Weld 17 inch RTS fronts with Thirdgen spacing
For sale: 2x Weld RTS 17x5.5 inch front runners with MH Racemaster tires. ~500 miles total. Perfect shape. $1328 at Summit Racing right now. These are built on demand, and took 6 weeks to get them when I purchased new. I did not want them to sit inboard of the fender as it was an aggressive street look, so the backspacing places outboard side as stock Thirdgen rims. They will not work correctly with 4th gens, the spacing is designed to be the best look for Thirdgens.
Attached are a few pics when the my 1000hp Firebird was wearing them in GM High Tech Performance magazine. Never seen rain, salt, etc.
$850.

Re: Weld 17 inch RTS fronts with Thirdgen spacing
What's the back spacing on the rims? I know the RTS will fit my 2010 Camaro SS...but the backspace matters. Of course, they will definitely fit my 1990 IROC...

I think those might work on both of my Camaros! What diameter are the tires?

They are mh race master 185/55-17 tires which are 26 inch diameter. This is the best dot 17inch front runner out there imo.
