98 16"x8" Twisted 5-Star Firebird Formula Rims - Wheel Adapter?
What size wheel adapter should I be using with these wheels?
With stock front brakes: ?
LS1 front brakes: ?
I heard 2" with stock and 1.7" with LS1s. Down the road I want to switch to LS1 fronts so how bad would 1.7" be with stock fronts?
According to LS1tech the specs are: 6-3/4" backspacing with a 2-3/16" offset.
245/50/16 Tires
I have an LS1 rear.

Went ahead with 2in" spacers. Installed them with my 3rdgen brakes bought from a board member. Worked out nicely.

That looks pretty sharp. I had thought of using those in the meantime if I find a set with decent tires on them.

Thanks. It works alright, gives the car a different look. Only thing I find funny is the centercaps say "ABS" lol. Could always get stickers, but these are interim.
