I don't have them, but I want them very much bad. I am planning on getting them, but I haven't decided on a color yet...gray or black. And I want to do wider in the rear.
They look killer on a Trans Am, last cruise in this year a guy had some on a Metallic Blue Trans Am. He was running a staggered set 18x8 front with +2mm offset 4.5" backspacing and 18x9.5 rear with -4mm offset 5" backspacing, no spacers needed.
I just bit the bullet and bought a staggered set, I will post up pics this spring when I put them on the car. Each wheel weighs 27lbs. according to my calibrated scale, not too bad, I think 35 is probably the shipping weight.
fronts are 18x8 rears 18x9.5 i know the backs are 255/45s but the front im not sure its in the body shop right now..i'll look and see if i have any more but i'm not sure.

how was the fit on the car ?? any issues with then rubbing on the fenders.. and do you think the 255/40 are the biggest you could put on the back?? i was hoping for 265-275...
i rolled the quarters, and the front fenders at the bottoms(turn scrub) alittle bit..and no i could put a much wider tire on the back

I like those wheels, and my car happens to be in the body shop getting painted pepper metallic gray - so I'm thinking about maybe getting the gray wheels.
What I don't understand - why did you have to roll the quarters even though you could have went with a wider tire in the back??
Do you have the staggered size set of rims that TransAM Joe just ordered with the same offset/backset?
i rolled because i plan on going as wide as possible on the tires when the rubber wears out. and in the future if i decide to go wider rims or lowering the car, i have that option. the time was right so why not roll the quarters when your not worried about messing up the paint. its all pre planing for things i want to do. and yes i believe it have the same stagered set. BOSS dont' offer much for options when it comes to back spacing.
