Yep, these are 17'x8's. These are perfect because they come at a 0 offset so there's no need for adapters or any other crap. The tires are 245/45/17 I got'em from tire discounters. Great deal. And man do they look nice and wide from the back. Just how I like it.

The spoiler was a toss up. It was painted silver and looked okay but I thought it might look even better black.

Looks good! Would definitely seek a different rear end with disc brakes, and the wing is not my style either. I do like the color combination. Might consider going with the "5 inch spoiler" from hawks and paint it black, I think that would set it off nicely.

Check this site out if your looking for inspiration.

Any ideas on how much that would cost (for the disc breaks)?

Just swap in a third or fourth gen rear end that has disc brakes.

Re: My 84-Z, finished
not sure. I think they are like 2 inches shorter overall but they are direct bolt ins. There are some good threads about 4th gen rear end swaps. you should look them up.

From what I understand its a direct bolt in, with the added advantage of being able to ride on 4th gen rims and vette style rims without spacers. You would also have a Posi rear end which is good. I doubt yours came with a Posi rear if it has drums. (could be wrong though)

Re: My 84-Z, finished
Don't know if you ever got an answer on the 4th gen rear, but ...

The LS1 rear is just at 3 inches WIDER overall - so just about 1.5 inches wider each side.
The LT1 rear is slightly longer.
It is a direct bolt-in.
4th gen wheels can be used with no modding on the rear, fronts need 2 inch spacers.
