18" replica iroc wheel question - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

back in black · 06-08-2006, 06:27 PM

I am so close to buying 18" iroc chrome replica wheels for my 86 Iroc and was wondering for the guys who have them if they have any turning clearance issues.If there's no issues I will be selling my stock rims which I just had redone and hyper silver painted with virtually new tires on them as well.

i have them on my 91 with eibach springs which lower it an inch and i have no clearance issues at all. It has never rubbed. i have them wrapped with 245/40/18

gflo383 · 06-08-2006, 10:15 PM

i too have the 18's

245/40's and i have the sportline kit, no problems at all

Thanks for the feedback.Can't wait to get them then!I think they look killer on our cars.

I just bought my 92 RS and it came with the 18" iroc wheels. They rub just slightly when the wheels are turned all the way. I have 255/40 tires on them.

Post some pics guys.

If you're looking for a slightly wider IROC wheel, Oasis makes their 18" wheel in an 8.5" width, which should accomodate a 275 tire, though I haven't actually tried it yet. The Oasis wheels are USA made too, but they do cost more than the ebay stuff.

87IROC350 · 06-17-2006, 07:03 AM

Are you sure they are measuring them the same way or have you seen a set and actually measure them?

Jim85IROC · 06-19-2006, 11:23 AM

I suppose maybe they're a bunch of idiots or liars, but I'm basing my assumption on the hope that they're honest, and not completely retarded.

But no, I haven't measured a set myself yet, so anything is possible.

I got my tires mounted on the 18's today. I went with a 255/45/18 for the rear and a 245/40/18 for the front.
I tried to get the 255/45/18 to fit the front, but it was about an 1/2 inch to big. I am very happy with the stance the car has right now. I will post pics when the weather clears up.

i have 17"s pics are in the sig.

I had 20" Irocs on my 89 Camaro RS for a while, looked nice..but I had to do some work on the wheel weld. Took them off to put 16" racing wheels for better traction and rubber.

1FastZ · 06-25-2006, 05:57 PM

Here's the 18's

Fill me in please on the problems that the 20" caused, I really want to put the 20's on my Z

Thanks

20's dont do it, yes they look cool and everyone is going to say. "wow those rims look nice" i have 22" on my poor 91 rs and i cant wait to take them off!! i think i will go with 17 in front and 18 back. camaro is not ment for 20" rims nor 22's for that matter haha

91Camaro_RS · 09-11-2008, 09:01 PM

I got a question about these rims too. I plan on putting 18's on my 91 rs but i am not sure which ones to by, cause on ebay there are some that i dont know the brand of and there is the american racing ones, which ones are better?

1FastZ · 09-12-2008, 08:08 AM

Your going to get mixed reviews on this. I can only tell you I had a good experience with customwheelsmarket.com
I have had mine for a long time now with no issues. They were good on price and had fast shipping.

91Camaro_RS · 09-15-2008, 01:50 AM

ok, ill probably just go with the customwheelsmarket.com cause i dont really like the center caps on the american racing ones

1FastZ · 09-18-2008, 10:08 AM

mine are going up for sale.....I have found a BonSpeed rim that I just gotta get.

Rockyd · 09-19-2008, 02:50 AM

Sickness91Z28 · 09-20-2008, 03:06 PM

I ran them for a little while....I had the 18X20 combo...

My brother is still running his 18's...

ROCFATHER · 09-20-2008, 03:33 PM

Anything bigger than 18's is ridiculous for third gens! Here in LA its seen often and I want to slap the dudes that think it looks good! The bigger the rim does not mean your COOL! LOL

BlackedOut · 09-20-2008, 04:26 PM

mine has 18s no clearance issues or anything.

So I take it your ridiculous comment was ment towards me?

Stevo · 09-21-2008, 11:35 AM

We know its all for that COOL factor.

91Camaro_RS · 09-27-2008, 05:46 PM

i got another question. I will be buying a set of 18's around january. so my question is is cold weather and lots or rain and some snow bad for the chrome wheels? should i wait till spring to put them on or does it matter. I live in washington and it rains alot in the winter

brewer1862 · 08-12-2011, 09:14 AM

ilove the looks of these, but does anybody have a picture of the 18in iroc's with a larger tire? i think i want to go with a taller tire if i get some.
